    I look at EVs today like the way it was when the personal computer came out. I remember my dad saying "what would you ever need one of those". Time, technology improvements and a different way of doing things and they will be part of our everyday lives. It is just a matter of time. PS I was...

    I would have a look on Kijiji or Facebook Market Place. I buy all my larger sized wire there as they are trying to get rid of end cuts. Usually get it for 1/2 the price

    This has worked for me a couple of times with Amazon vendors. I find the shipping with AliExpress can be very slow so prefer using Amazon. Good luck with your purchase and let us know how it works.
