Virginia man abandons electric Citicar for gas power
William O. Burns bought a 1976 Citicar for 3000 dollars, then removed the batteries and planned a 10 horsepower gas engine due to frequent breakdowns and scarce parts after the company bankruptcy. He cites limited range, high maintenance costs, and unreliable parts as practical barriers to electric driving.
