Township Could Power, Not Gas, up Part of Its Fleet

The township may lease four electric-powered cars, and for a good price, the township administrator says.

 

Gloucester Township may get into the electric car game if Township Council approves a lease agreement for four Mitsubishis.

The move would be a money-saving step and fit in with Gloucester Township’s green initiatives, township administrator Tom Cardis told Council at its March 4 work session.

An upfront cost of $2,764.22 per car covers everything for a two-year lease, the administrator said, adding that the cars normally have a suggested manufacturer’s price of $35,000 each.

“We have an opportunity to acquire electric-powered vehicles,” Cardis said. “Based on my calculations … these vehicles will pay for themselves in the gas that is saved.”

The intention is to use the cars for construction and code enforcement, as those employees regularly drive around the township.

Each car can hold a charge long enough for 80 miles of driving daily, Cardis continued. The lease, which would run through Cherry Hill Triplex, limits the annual mileage to 12,000, or 57 miles a day based on a four-day workweek.

“We’ll have to arrange to have Public Works hook up an outlet to connect them to in the parking areas,” Cardis noted. He did not specify Monday how much outlets might cost. Patch could not reach Cardis for further clarification on details of the lease before press time.

Mitsubishi’s i-MiEV model is a fully electric car with no emissions and is soundless, the company says, and has an equivalent of 112 miles per gallon.

Consumer Reports was far from enamored, however, putting the “glorified golf cart” cruise charge life at 60 miles, and noting that each full charge can take six to seven hours. But the car is among the most efficient the consumer magazine has ever tested, a reviewer noted (click on the video above to watch.) 

Councilman Sam Siler inquired about the cars’ maintenance cost during the lease period.

“I think it’s minimal; it’s mainly the batteries,” Cardis responded. “We can discuss that with Cherry Hill Triplex. I don’t believe that would inhibit us from moving forward here. We’re going to be saving more than what the lease payments are in gasoline.”

The lease agreement would be a one-time deal, and Gloucester Township would have to return the cars after two years.

Council could take up the matter at its next meeting on March 11. Council would only have to approve a resolution to execute the lease.

Check with Winslow. They had partial electric cars, the batteries failed and cost plenty to replace. Sounds like a money saver but it'll most likely be a break even at best with poor performance and unhappy drivers. Keep the old vehicles for backups or you'll wish you had.

I have an idea...how about shutting off the cars when not driving to save on gas etc. I can't tell you the number of times I have been somewhere where a township employee (cops included) was in a business and left the car running the whole time. I get it, it's not your wallet being squeezed so who cares right?
On another note...has anyone not read the news? How about we save the money to pay off the school lawsuits we are going to be subjected to AND pay for the roads that have me dodging holes ever day. Berlin Cross Keys, New Freedom, Brooklyn, and Blackwood-Clementon Roads are a DISGRACE. But I guess being responsible with Township funds isn't as fun as buying cars, vans, and tanks

That's a legitimate complaint, and if you call or email the twp. website, it will be investigated, and if found true that the cars are running unattended, then I'm sure it will be corrected.
If the plaintiff is awarded damages most school systems have excess liability insurance, I would hope G.T. school system would also have it.
On your other note about the bad roads, well, I agree, I also hit potholes, but I also have to be patient, this is a very large township with county roads running all through it. There is a big county project going on with laying pipeline. If you would attend council meetings or even watch council online you would have knowledge of the root of the problem. Council has a agreement that county will repair the roads they are tearing up. I have learned about this by watching and listening to the council meetings.
In all honesty, and fairness, twp has posted through Patch the contact #'s to call in potholes. That's just not good enough for Darren and his Radical buddy's. They say they complain at every council meeting about the roads, they have been saying they same thing 2 years before any county project has started. When asked Darren couldn't even name a road that had a pothole. He couldn't even cooperate one iota by naming a pothole, one pothole or bump for over two years, but sure can complain the same complaint, honestly sometimes I feel like I'm in the movie Groundhog Day,
same thing with Darren over and over and over.

$2764.22 to drive out the door...So what's the monthly lease charge for each car?

A TOTAL cost of $2764 to lease a $35,000 car for two years? That figure doesn't seem right to me.

Pete, I don't believe that is the lease price, that's the up front price. Let's apply Greenie's math...$2764.22/24mo. =$115.17 a month for a $35,000 automobile. Hey, Greenie, I have a bridge you might be interested in.
What's interesting to me, Pete, is that the vehicle starts at around $21,000 and tops out at $35,000 - so, we're going for the top of the line for our township officials to ride around in comfort at our expense. The lease price starts at around $150/month and I'm sure that's for the $21,000 version. My guess is that the $2764 is the price to drive each vehicle out the door and then the lease is probably on the order of around $250/month. BTW, that is a very conservative guess because I wouldn't be surprised if it's significantly more. Anyway, that's the best I can gather from looking at the Cherry Hill Triplex web page.
Now if Greenie want's to give us a little more of her higher order math and explain to the good people of GT how we're getting a $35,000 automobile for two years for a grand total of $2764, I am all ears.
Take it away, Greene...

After the leasing cost, isn't there a "road tax" that Electric vehicle owners pay in lieu of gasoline taxes?
How about any costs associated with the charging units?

Oh, and why continue to keep SPENDING money when during this bad economy many in this township are hurting.

Should have reduced taxes rather than continue on this spending spree up to zero.

GTWatchdawg, Ray Polidoro the Republican Chairman I find it hard to understand what changed from the days you defended Republican Mayor Cindy Rau-Hattons budgets of increasing taxes 24%, 22% and 14% respectively. She was in office and you would go up to council like a puppy dag looking for a treat and a pat on the head begging council "to be responsible and allow the tax hikes Rau-Hatton Proposed." Now you go up to council and say it's irresponsible to have a $0 increase budget and instead you demand council start cutting services. Then the Republicant's wonder why they "Can't" win an election in this town.

Very true Megatron13, regardless the Mayor and Council still due their jobs everyday finding ways to make G.T. a nicer place to live. Watch, G.T. Day will be here soon and you will see all of them out with their families enjoying the festivities and then after blogging about how awful it was.
Today they are doing their best to avoid the fact that one of their own seems to be in some trouble for taking his harassment a little to far at a school board meeting. I hear he was so verbally combative bringing Politics into the meeting and distracting the business of the k-8 system that his target , a specific member of the board had filed charges against him for harassment.
This is not the first time this guy "Radical John" has done this. He goes from Twp. to little town filing OPRA requests , hundreds and hundreds through S. Jersey and then goes to their Council meetings and does the same thing, goes to the mic and harasses council for his own political gain. So you see , every town has it's pesky little folks who nothing at all in life makes them happy but to call people names on a blog site. The problem is that S. Jersey towns all have one of them in common. Yep, Radical John the OPRA filer. How can anyone purposely put a Town Clerk under such pressure filing these reports, just because he can? Then if they can't get the reports done in time, HE SUES THE TOWN What a stand up guy. Well, seems he crossed over the line this time and is on the receiving end.

I find it very strange that his buddy's all fell silent, didn't come to his defense, but didn't miss a beat in posting the same dry old comments about the Mayor that they have been saying for about 2 years now.
Megatron13, you made a statement that the Police Officer was at the hearing, obviously you have first hand info. that is true, yet they were out in droves, saying the opposite. I wonder why they won't give John the same courtesy they gave her and her hearing. Don't want to say the name, might get censored.
Anyway, I guess I will get called names, as usual, everything is just sobbing awful in this Twp. as they continue to live in the misery of it 15+ years. So I have 2 more things to say tonight , Mayor Dave, YOU ROCK Thousands of residents agree and Good Night..

Thanks for the support GJGT,
I think your right, Paul and Darren don't like strong women. I apologize Paul if I was pre-occupied with something other than the same old complaints from you and Darren's same dried old complaints.
And to" Me", I never loose focus on what's going on in Township, I am extremely active and supportive of our Mayor and leadership. As you can see by previous blogs Darren and Paul are very unhappy and are putting out false accusations but can't seem to find any good in the place they are living.
It seems that they are now members or associated with a small radical political group that wants to attack people who are associated with the leadership of our town, one major offender is someone who doesn't even live here but seems to have a control over their negative thinking. It's really a shame.
I know the leadership folks, and I also know that they are polite and respectful to all residents, I have a real hard time believing that the Mayor ever called Darren a liar, yet he has posted that at least 500 times. Enough already. Lets get down to the facts of why , really they don't like G.T.
There are many towns out there that are raising taxes, many towns that are not thinking out of the box and working in a shared services agreement. They complain about the police dept. yet we have the best P.D. in the state in my mind. Our P.D. is zero tolerance for crime to keep us and our children safe. They have invested interested, they live here also.

I guess I thought it was something that should have been made public; I know for a fact that there are other people with questions about how such a thing happened. I imagine you think you're big stuff answering my question with a question that is so mindless. Well guess what, Greene, if you think I'm afraid to ask the chief a question go ask him if I've ever questioned him about anything before. That should keep you busy.
Oh, and don't forget to post the math that has you stating we're getting four $35,000 vehicles for a total of only $115 a month each.

So, when someone breaks into your house and threatens your family, you ask the intruder to pass you the phone while you call 911 and then ask the intruder to wait for the police, right? Your wife, if you truly have one, must be awfully proud of you. Well, if nothing else, at least she can wait for the police to get there since she knows you would do nothing to protect her.

When you use the screen name Darren Gladden you make yourself out to be an idiot with the misspellings poor grammar personal insults. Funny your master Joshua Berry and Tom Crone let you post whole sentences under your fake names but insist you use poor grammar when you use your own name. Why? Just so everyone continues to write you off as an idiot. They are pretty smart refusing to allow you in there group after they destroyed any chance you had to win that council seat. Funny bragged about paying for your election fund by pulling out a fist full of credit cards then cut you off at $100. After you collected your petitions he demanded you make yourself look like a moron, like a good puppy you bit the bone. Did he at least pat your head?

Darren,
Council meeting and School Board Meeting tonight, witch one are you going to? I would suggest to go to the S.B. if you have a issue with the full day kindergarten, and get your answerer. The last time you went you had the opportunity to "address" the board. Instead you came on Patch on Tuesday and reported looking up "a dress" of a board member and complaining about her apparel. Darren, that's not the same thing !! So how do you expect people to take you serious when you post this crap?
Your grammar is just a ploy to get attention, you are so needy. Why don't you straighten up and just respect the process, bring your questions in a respectful manner to the officials then if you feel need to post your comments without all the childish drama.
Thousands of residents voted the Mayor in, and he is doing a great job. and thousands will vote him back in for another 3 years, you said it yourself, so calm down and deal with it again , in a respectful manner, like a true grown up.
FYI, the Mayor is a Professional, that's why he dresses like one. You act like a thug, and that's why you dress the part.

It is disappointingly to here administrator Tom Cardis can't answer a simple question that took me 30 seconds to look up online. Maybe that's the wrong person to ask??. I don't know. Point is, a simple one line statement " a net expense increase of (example,$187) a year over five years to replace 4 gas vehicles" is all we need. He gives us political double speak and a sales quote. I call, no confidence, vote them out and give someone else a try.

Blackwood Resident I have a question. If you looked it up like you claim you did why didn't you post the real figures you claim you have? "(example,$187)" said blackwood resident.
Now you would not be trying to deceive us wold you? Very simple math if Paul DiBartolo's figure is correct and the cars were $35,000 each. and they are not his figure is about $15,000 per car more then the full retail actually was.
Also we did not buy the cars we leased them so even that figure is way higher then the reality of what they actually pay. But since you guys love to pretend lets use your numbers and show you how ridiculous your post actually is.

There are 24000 home in Gloucester Twp and 1800 businesses, that pay taxes.
If the 5 cars cost $35,000 each, $175,000 total if we had purchased them at 100% of Paul's factious figure. If they are paid for over 5 years as you claimed that would bring us back to $35,000 per year of tax dollars divided over the 25800 (24000 +1800= 25800 for the uneducated called: Blackwood resident) tax paying homeowners and businesses for arguments sake lets say everyone even the low income properties all paid the same tax dollars toward the cars, gonna go with standard math because I seriously don't think your smart enough to understand new math. $35,000.00 divided by 25,800 = $1.36 per tax paying entity or 34 cents per quarter. That number is real far from the one you pretended to look up. No wonder you used a fictitious number (example of $187).

Okay, genius, I looked it up on the Cherry Hill Triplex site before I made my comments. The vehicles are listed at $21,000 to $36,000 depending on the packages purchased. Additionally, Cardis stated (as reported in the article) that the vehicles being considered were priced at $35,000 each. Are you calling him a liar? Additionally, I never stated we were buying the vehicles but anybody who knows anything knows that the more expensive the vehicle the more expensive the lease. The article states that the upfront price per vehicle was $2764. I take that to mean that's what we would pay upfront in addition to the monthly lease price. I asked a simple question, what's the monthly lease cost? If someone is suggesting that upfront cost covers a complete two year lease, thus implying that we will lease a $35,000 vehicle for 24 months at $115 per month...that's ludicrous. As soon as those vehicles leave the lot they will devalue to the tune of about $5,000.
Go ahead and tell us what you're really trying to say.

You know Paul, I would call you a genius back but my mother taught me to never lie. Now that said I am pretty clear I was calling YOU and "Blackwood resident" liars. If you read my comment I said if they looked it up why use fictitious figures? Bye the way Paul I could never make you look worse then you make yourself look, it's amazing.

I said numerous times your figure of $35,000 was ridiculously high and you just confirmed that by saying you looked it up and Cherry Hill paid $21,000-$35,000 to buy their vehicles we are only leasing ours, confirming my assumption that your original figures were extremely high. I understand why you choose to praise Cherry Hill for the same thing you have chosen to rip GT for after all Republican mayors can't do anything wrong according to you. Even if they are doing (according to your posts) worse things you condone here. They purchased their vehicles so in 7 years when the batteries need to be replaced they will spend about $7,000 per car in maintenance, while we use ours for less than 20% of the amount Cherry Hill spent and get to turn them back in and let someone else pay for the batteries.

Oh Paul just so you know you may want to rework your figures because you wrote an entire comment trying to say I was wrong then you posted a figure of $5,000 per car, per year, which is the exact number I used. Turns out the cars cost 34 cents per 1/4 if they do not save 1 gallon of gas which would make them profitable vs. what we use now.

Very easy to throw the word 'liar' around, isn't it, Sybil?

>> An upfront cost of $2,764.22 per car covers everything for a two-year lease, the administrator said, adding that the cars normally have a suggested manufacturer’s price of $35,000 each. (administrator = Tom Cardis)

Where is the above from? Do you recognize it? Did you read the original article above? Who's the liar, you or Cardis?

Cardis (the administrator - one of the subjects of the story) added "that the cars normally have a suggested manufacturer’s price of $35,000 each." The Cherry Hill Triplex website confirms what Mr. Cardis stated.

I won't call you a liar...that's too easy. You do tend to act like quite a knucklehead, however. It must be hard to be you, you, you, and you. How many of there are you?

See we all know you couldn't find anything to support your ridiculous point anyplace in GT that's why you had to go to the Republican controlled Cherry Hill to find a town that would spend that much and actually buy the vehicles for $35,000 when they could have leased them like we did for about $5,000 for 5 years. Now considering I an relying on your blog and your statistics to write my comment it would not surprise me that your saying i'm lying after all, you would know since I'm using your statistics. All I did was break down your figures to how much it was really costing each taxpayer if your statistics were true instead of allowing "Blackwood resident" to mislead people saying he looked it up and then used his (Example 187) per homeowner.

According to him I should have known better then to agree with him. Council tonight showed us all his figures actually turned out to be about twice as much as the actual costs.

I agree Paul I must have been clueless after all I should have known better then to trust your research and I should have known better then to believe you would post truthful figures. Shame on me!

Don't be condescending and call me Jenni, it makes you seem juvenile. I didn't threaten you with a lawsuit because you did not affect me in any way. I did attend those meetings. I also did not say I had sympathy for anyone. I was confused about you saying he was harassing someone in the meeting. You stated it as a fact. It is not yet a fact.

Darren my first comment was based on the entire thread of comments ABOUT spelling, grammar, some blog etc......not the actual spelling, grammar, or blog. You are so quick to be defensive that the rest went over your head.

Jennifer it is a fact, someone did feel harassed, and enough to feel the need to press charges. If he will be found guilty of that harassment in the eyes of the court remains to be seen, I agree, but it is alarming that this guy comes here from Gloucester City to scream and yell at our school board members and our council members and he has even chosen to do this in our zoning and panning boards in the past. He has OPRA requested hundreds of documents from our clerk and police departments costing the tax payers tens of thousands of dollars and when asked why his response was because he is entitled to it. Why what makes him "entitled" to anything in our town? Why is he "entitled" to cost us tax dollars wasting our clerks time so he can just see if then town keeps records that satisfy his whims?

His motivation is purely political and these meetings are not political especially the school board which does not run for office as democrats or republicans it is a nonpartisan board. Do you even know what he was yelling and screaming at her about? It was harassment, hands down. I was at the meeting and many of the people there felt very uncomfortable I could only imagine what the members felt like.

OMG.. You have been complaining about the full day kindergarten, now you say it's not, now you seem to think "everything is falling apart." News Flash Darren, if your world is falling apart that's one thing, township is fine and moving forward weather you like it or not. FYI.. You don't know me, so I would not post things about someone being on Meds if I were you, do you really want to open that door? Think about it.
YOU ramble on so much I don't think you know what your issues are with Township.
Your right, maybe I should re word that, people are paying attention to you, you draw negative attention, but some of the stuff, your just a funny guy.

Jennifer, Why did you want to claw your eyes out? About someone reciting the law?
I thought you were just a parent there, if indeed you were, then you would have heard the way he was screaming at her to resign all the way out the door. No one should have to tolerate that level of verbal abuse or intimidation.

I wanted to claw my eyes out because he was reading law. As a matter of fact, he read it twice. It went on and on and on and on! Legal terminology to the lay person sounds like the parents in Charlie Brown. It was late and I was tired. So yes, I wanted to claw my eyes out! I promise, I'm just a parent. I spoke at the January and February BOE meetings. I'm sure you heard me in the back.

That's very interesting...We have a poster that I am not familiar with named Jennifer who has posted above. She corrected Susan Greene for referring to her as Jenni; too condescending, and I agree. But here we have Odd Job, Jr., referring to Susan Greene as "susy q." Is there something we're missing? No, we all get it. Classic case of multiple personality order in full view.

Paul it's more like your paranoia is starting to show. We have told you numerous times before. More than one person on here posts and disagrees with you. You’re just starting to notice it more because more people everyday disagree with you more and more. The bully routine is over. People are just not letting you get away with making the ridiculous unsubstantiated remarks anymore. It's not multiple personalities it's multiple people, I understand why your paranoia and ego don't let you grasp that but oh well too bad for you.

Here we go, line for line, Jennifer:
> I stated I was unfamiliar with you and, in fact, I have only first seen your comments in response to this particular article.
> I agreed with your correction to Susan Greene who, I assume, does not know you but addressed you rather insultingly as Jenni.
> I then pointed out that there was something odd about Odd Job, Jr., casually referring to Susan Green as 'suzy q' unless they were already on intimate grounds...the insinuation is that they are the same person, thus the mention of the multiple personality disorder.
Seriously, Jennifer, I've been given a bad rap:-) I usually don't pass out the insults until they start from the other side and then the game's on. Additionally, I don't make the insults personal and attack the way people look; I normally address their unwillingness to reason and make a logical argument. For one thing, all my detractors have seen me and know who I am because I have a picture and a profile posted but they all hide behind false names and take potshots at me.

Anyway, I guess I assumed too much, so for your information there are a number of posters who, although they use different pseudonyms, they are actually one in the same. The individual to whom I refer is the official GT attack dog and does the dirty work of whomever it is that doesn't like to see any opposing opinion to the status quo.

I realize this is a bit unconventional; but, to comment on the topic of this article:

Tonight's Council meeting agenda was just posted (much later than usual), and a resolution will be voted on regarding these vehicle leases.
No details were given on the lease contracts.

Yes, I got my answer tonight.
At the meeting, it was announced that, indeed, the total cost per car for the two-year lease is $2764.
That is a great deal which will pay for itself.
Job well done, Mr. Cardis.

Yes, Susan, I got my answer. Congratulations to Mr. Cardis for working out what looks to be a great deal. My original question was whether the upfront charge ($2764.xx) was all there was to the cost. Given the per-vehicle cost, stated at $35,000, a lease of $112/month per unit seems extraordinarily low. I hope, for all our sakes, it works out.

If there is anybody on here that makes it a practice to lease vehicles, I would be interested in hearing how they think a $35,000 dollar vehicle can be leased for 24 months for $112/mo. with no other costs. Only those qualified need answer; if you don't have experience in this area (like me, that's why I'm asking) then attempt to stifle yourself.

I guess my admission of error will be celebrated way out of proportion...I'm not sure why, but certain individual(s) are very easily entertained. Really, it's no big deal and I'm not afraid to admit when I'm wrong. Facts have a funny way of making that clear. But that's the point...I just want to get to the facts.

Now why certain pin-heads take pleasure in posting comments such as: "...go.......Dave.........America spoke" is baffling.

I assume the reference is to Dave Mayer; so how America spoke in reference to GT's mayor is unclear to me. I'm sure there will be an equally asinine explanation that follows because the individual who posted that gem cannot help him/her-self from running on at the mouth as evidenced by all the gibberish that he/she posts.

Take it away...

Susan Greene

12:03 pm on Tuesday, March 12, 2013

I would guess to say that there is a big difference between negotiating when it's one car vs multiple cars leasing. No disproportionate celebrating.

Thank you for the reply. The picture is starting to come into focus. The low end price I quoted (~ $21,000) is actually the purchase price of the low end model after the government kicks in the $7500 incentive to buy such a piece of junk. In the case of a lease, the dealer keeps the incentive which is what effects the lease price. So, the $35,000 quoted by Mr. Cardis gives the dealer $7500, bringing its investment down to $27,500 (if the $35,000 vehicle is indeed the model we are truly getting).
The only vehicles available at this time appear to be 2012s. I'm not sure why that is other than the possibility that, since they're not flying out the door, Mitsubishi scaled back production.
The bottom line is that Mitsubishi tried to offer the vehicle for lease at $249/month with a three year lease last year (not sure which model) but must the program must have failed miserably. The deal has now changed (to move the vehicles) and there are dealers offering this vehicle for a two year lease at $69/month with $2100 down or $169/month with nothing down.
Good luck on this one, Mr. Cardis. I, personally, would not want to be the proud owner of one of these experimental vehicles, and based on sales, neither do many other people.

Correction: it looks like the $2100 is the result of tax, etc. So, you either pay it up front or they roll it into the lease which explains the difference between the $69 and $169. Very impractical for the daily driver but maybe it will work out for the township...we'll see.

Susan Greene

1:06 pm on Tuesday, March 12, 2013

Paul, Your only making assumptions, first you say it's a good deal, then I would guess to say you redact your comment.
If you are so interested, why don't you OPRA the lease agreement then you can stop speculating and maybe you will truly show you are a stand up guy, and again, just say it's a good deal. Time to move on it's a done deal and a good one at that.

Actually, my opinion, regardless of what you thought I said, is that, on the surface, it appears that it might be a good deal given the way the township plans to use the vehicles. On the other hand, it would never work for the daily driver like me without the ability to stay close to a charging station. I'd hate to run out of power on 295. Apparently, I am not alone in that opinion and the sales numbers tell that story. Finally, in the end, since there is no track record for this effort, time will tell. In addition, the vehicles themselves were not given that high of a rating by the organizations that deal in such matters. Therefore, Caveat Emptor.
Where's my speculation? Carids stated we were paying about $112 a month. I've been to the dealer websites and seen the deals they were offering for $69 and $169 a month. Mitsubishi originally tried to lease these vehicles out at $249 a month for three years and failed. Again, what part of that is speculation?
The only speculation involved is the speculation that this will work out for the township. My last word on that...good luck.

Susan Greene

Well Roger lol
nice try, OPRA request the minutes of the meeting if your so interested. You do know how to do that don't you?
