On Thursday my father asked me to help him deliver two all electric vehicles to the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle. Driving an all electric vehicle offers no small amount of disorientation. I am used to driving gasoline or diesel powered cars. After getting in for the first time and turning the ignition over, I didn’t hear the engine making any noise. I put the gear-shift to D and began driving forward. The Ford Transit Connect Electric makes a sound like a high pitched, humming vibration at 10 miles an hour, and it makes the same sound at 65 miles an hour. On our way up to the 50th St. exit off I-5 I felt like I was driving with ear plugs in.
From Auburn to Seattle, the electric car did everything I asked it to do. When I needed to go quickly, it sped right up. When I needed to stop quickly or maneuver around a slow vehicle, the Ford was as responsive as a Volkswagen Jetta. My father has been selling cars and trucks since I was 16 years old. He and I have a long tradition of driving and delivering vehicles together from as far away as Arizona and Oklahoma.
He always strives to include me in his life.
