11 MPG. You Are Kidding, Right?
As you know, our motto has been “Designed by Law Enforcement, For Law Enforcement” and with our announcement of calling Connersville, Indiana home we’ll add “Built by Americans for Americans!”
Well, the “Designed by Law Enforcement” bit has very much to do with the over 3,500 Carbon Council members from all 50 US States that have volunteered their time, their opinions, their help, and their support to make sure the Carbon E7 is The M...
