Ron knows that the daily commutes are when drivers generate the most pollution. He never intended for his Myers Motors NmG to replace his other car, but realized he could reduce the amount of pollution that he creates by driving it for single-passenger trips. Ron said that an additional bonus for him is the opportunity to "thumb my nose at the gas pumps."

But the NmG is so much fun to drive that Ron does more than commute to work in it. He said that frequently after work he will recharge his EV for a couple of hours so he can go for an extended drive. Sometimes he drives to nearby small towns on the weekends just to show it off. He also enjoys the interaction with the other drivers who give him the thumbs up over their own steering wheels. He found that the trunk is a convenient size to carry home his groceries or other items from the store. Of course, he usually finds several people admiring his NmG when he walks out to the mall parking lot.

Ron said that he likes to see how younger kids react to the vehicle when they see him coming down the street. Younger children who are out with their parents will stop and jump up and down and wave so he beeps at them. Young people often call out, "Hey mister, we like your car." His 11-year-old daughter's school friends often report to her when they have seen him out and about. A lot of the school kids like that it is a zero-emissions vehicle and his daughter gets to brag that her dad is doing something to promote air clean instead of just talking about it.

Ron loves to collect electronic gear like RC planes, so an electric vehicle was an easy choice for him. He decided to buy the Myers Motors NmG because he liked the looks. Plus, as he recently told a local reporter, the NmG's stereo/CD player, power windows, heater, and trunk were basically everything he wanted in a car. Some of his family originally viewed EV purchase as another toy and expressed concerned with how much household electricity the EV would consume. However, they were soon pleased to discover that its recharge needs are very reasonable.

Ron would have liked owning an NmG as a driveable toy, but he really enjoys the bonus of doing his part to help the environment.
