Electric Cars -- anyone own one?

For all ev lovers

This looks more like an LNG/CNG bus. If bet those jets are relief valves on the tanks or tanks system.

Incidentally GM previously "killed" the Camaro in 2002, but had a change of heart several years later.

Nope, that's an EV.

Nope and the fact that electrics are all we will have available in the future, was enough to twist my arm to buy this.

I guess I don’t like change.

Wow, that’s a great color combination!

Is our free will now gone!

I hope there wasn't a burn ban in place at the time.

Good thing we will all be together, to counter the reduced winter range in the north all you have to do is not run the heater/defrost.

Might want to consider that rear window defroster.
There’s a huge electrical draw.

Ok, so an EV supposedly emits zero CO2 ... until it burns, them it emits in 10 minutes what 10 fossil-powered taxis emit in a year.

With the size of the flames and apparent pressure behind them, I was more concerned with burning down half of whichever western state it was in.
The emissions from the burning battery was/is small potatoes compared to burning down 100 sq miles of timber and buildings

I suppose we'll see damn few electric logging trucks or loaders.

How much CO2 was required/emitted to produce the EV?

More or less CO2 compared to a vehicle having an ICE?

More.

"Studies have found that though it’s true that the production of a B.E.V. causes more pollution than a gasoline-powered counterpart, that greenhouse gas emission difference is erased as the vehicle is driven."

Less. More.

Now there’s a real automotive authority… “The New York Times”!

I have friends with them, and they seem to like them just fine. Check the insurance rates before you buy though. Some of them are not really designed to be repaired cheaply. A minor accident can total a car, so your premium are going to reflect that.

I just wonder if/when we get an actual 'president', hopefully soon, will all this too-soon rush to EV's and silly green nonsense fade and we might return to some degree of normalcy? Let's face it, ICE's are gonna be with us for the foreseeable future, especially in industry.

When they admit they were wrong to originally deny it as "fake news", yes, it's worth reading. I'm sure the irony wasn't lost on you.
