A guy that lives in the condos up the street asked me if he could make an arrangement to nightly plug in his car at my house. The POA won't let him do it. I won't either. So he made a deal with my nutso neighbor. He plugs in his car there then walks 1/2 mile to his apartment. |

Most of us here aren't big fans of EVs. Some of us can't stand them. But they're coming and at some point -maybe not in our lifetimes, we're all too old- we're going to be forced to buy one of these shitboxes.

Y’all are funny. But make fun all you want because you will be driving an EV one day if you like it or not.
This is the same argument of the horse vs the automobile people had over 100 years ago.

EV threads are great; so much fear, ignorance, paranoia, lack of foresight, & general knuckledragging. I don't get why people are so upset about something that has little or no effect on them. You don't like EVs, then don't buy one. No one's forcing you. (Yet. )

This is key, and telling. In America, you used to be able to CHOOSE what type of vehicle you wanted to buy. Competition was fierce and the result was affordable quality cars that plain worked, like the Model T Ford. At the time the T was introduced in 1909, there were more electric vehicles in the US than gas. EV's of the era could go the same speed as a gas car on the dirt roads of the day and could get 50-70 miles on a charge. They fell out of favor due to the electric starter being introduced and bigger and faster cars with longer ranges. But, the public drove the production, marketing, sales, and success. Not the government. Like now. Soviet Russia had about 2 cars over the past 80 years, both pieces of crap. The socialist slant our government has taken is trying to dictate what we buy, where we live, where to go, and how to be happy with nothing. We must resist this tyrnany at all costs. |

My high school honors colloquium course had this very discussion back in 1985, and we also predicted the demise of Blockbuster Video in the same discussion due to forthcoming technology and streaming videos. |

So again, with no power anywhere, how often are you venturing out and why/where? You’re at home, stocked up on supplies, generator powering the necessities etc. what are you venturing out for? |
