One thing to know about some (all?) electric vehicles is that if you can't "turn it on" it can't be put into neutral. So the tow truck needs to be equipped with some kind of slides or skates that can be put under the vehicle's wheels. -
No, it's not necessary to replace the tape after each coat of varnish. As long as the tape remains intact and doesn't interfere with subsequent coats, you can leave it in place. Just ensure it doesn't become saturated or affect the finish quality. -

I've covered my house with solar panels, and now I sell electricity instead of paying for it. As things die and need to be replaced, I hope to go electric as much as possible (car, heat, hot water, stove). I was thinking plug in hybrid so I could charge in my garage, but not have to worry about long trips. I'll drive my existing vehicle until it dies, and who knows what the technology will be like, then. I was just pipe-dreaming about what I'd get if my vehicle died tomorrow. -
