Willie Wanker you still around ?

Some of the newer battery technology looks promising. Tesla is the leading the pack being The only EV manufacturer that's developing and building it's own batteries. 500 miles on a single charge will soon be the new norm. At least that's what they're saying. Cybertruck dual and tri-motor can tow 11,000 lb, but they're pretty damn ugly. I still think they're pretty cool though and hella fun to drive.

Also, The uglyness of the Cybertruck is what stops me…can’t drive an ugly vehicle. Same with ladies…..I’d rather wait for a Prime Rib than settle for a greasy burger……

Also, there is this:

Plus they cost about 50% less than ours.

Besides the above link their are BYD, Nio and Li EVs with features we don't have as yet, which all are shown on YouTube videos.
Some will be available in the US next year. That is if Detroit and Big Oil don't get them blocked from coming here.
Less costly and more advanced Chinese EVs are a definite threat to the US auto industry. Some are rated as being better than Tesla.

Simply rent a car for long trips. Problem solved.

Besides most peeps have 2 vehicles, so an EV is a perfect choice.

Can drive to Toronto no problem. Stay at a hotel offering free guest chargers and battery never has low miles readings while going about since it charges overnight. Originally Posted by Zollner

Have no idea what you stated above in your patented 'steam of unconsciousness logic' you posted???

Since you haven't a clue about EVs jb, perhaps you should try sticking to things you are expert in, like dick pix, trannys and knocking SPs who threaten your domain.....LOL

Note the last most popular EV, shown in above video is a Chinese/General Motors joint venture project.

China dirty coal powered

the Boss is back

no more taxpayer subsidies

After watching movie ANORA, the oscar winner this year, had to test drive the Escalade EV.
It has a battery range of 460 miles. With Regen braking people report getting well over 500 miles to a charge!!!
It is one impressive EV.

Since electric cars came around over 100 years ago big oil has been trying to crush them. I’m a Hugh fan of hybrid cars and trucks. Gas mileage on trucks all the way to 1 ton box trucks should have been hybrid for years. All electric has been tough for me to get comfortable with. It’s more a personal thing for me. Having watched our farm and all the surrounding farms get wind mills showed me the ugly side. The roads they punched through pristine forests and change of landscape as a result is rare to seen or shared with the public. Solar appears a lot less invasive. As long as people understand that there is a need for oil. Not trying to telll people not to buy electric cars, I can honestly say they do have a place in the chain of transportation but remember the amount of diesel fuel that is used to build the infrastructure as well as install it. Excavators and dump trucks as well as trains and cranes etc still need oil let’s just except the fact that for the moment we need both

They spent millions on Don the Con to get him elected and were not too happy to see him shilling and promoting Tessler EVs on the White House lawn....LOL
