Florida now dealing with EV fires due to  flooding.

Guess gas cars dont catch fire when flooded.

EVs don't charge if the power's out -- unless you have your own generator that likely used fossil fuels.   :geekdanc: :thumbsup:

It's one thing to be dependent on available gasoline and fuel sellers to run your vehicles.  It's something else to be dependent on the local utilities to provide electricity to run your vehicles.

It's easier to store 10 gallons of emergency fuel and take it with you than it is to store days worth of EV power in a portable storage solution.

Like teh gorebull warming, liberals making EV's a religious cause just ensures my total rejection.

Liberals are too stupid to figure out making a cause part their religion is the very wrong way to getting others to go along.

Closed mind?  Perhaps.

Having a horrible accuracy record is a good reason not to trust ithem.

So far, nothing they predicted has come true.  The best they have is blaming an event (hurricane, tornado, heat wave, blizzard) on Global Warming AFTER it already occurred.  Not much science in that.  I believe that's how the Salem witch trials began.  Observations tied to hysterical explanations with no basis in provable facts.

As an Electronic engineer I'll be the first to tell you Electric motors are the way to go.
power, longevity, robustness, and cost.
Just one problem for cars they suck because we can't on a small scale make enough electricity
to run them conveniently compared to fossil fuels.
EV will fail no matter how hard Democrats shove them up our asses.
A horse is better than an EV.
Agreed not everybody can be like me and have
horses, donkeys and mules.
But if Democrats are taking us back to the Dark ages,
you should start to plan for it.

I wish I could have a mule, but one named something like Happy, Easy or Friendly.
Stop blaming lazy people. We didn’t do anything.

Mules are like wives.
Treat them good and they
will take care of you,
forever.
PISS THEM OFF,
they have memories and you are Fuked.
You can't beat them like a horse or donkey.
They are a special animal.
They can't have offspring.

I got a Tesla recently.  The power is great compared to my previous STI, faster with instant power with no lag.  Handles good to for it's hefty weight with a low center of gravity.  I hate car maintenance and repair which this should reduce.

I think I'll start searching the web about EV, long daily commutes on the mainland and cross country treks.

I have a feeling it is a nightmare.

Hawaii not so bad.  We only go around in circles anyway.

A few friends have Teslas.  They love them.  Performance and technology wise, they seem awesome.  With that much technology in them, that screams "any significant maintenance is $$$$$".
