And just because folks have an EV doesn't mean there is no pollution. The electricity to charge it has to be generated somewhere and most likely in a gas or coal fired power plant. There isn't enough wind, solar and hydro energy to make this all work. Oh, and because EVs don't use gas there is no gas tax paid by these owners. Those of us that drive gas and diesel vehicles are paying the taxes that are supposed to help rebuild our interstate systems. And they want to make tractor trailers electrically powered. BS! My son-in-law drives a big rig back and forth across and around the contiguous 48. If he was driving an EV truck he might make one delivery per week. Not gonna pay the mortgage with that short run.
what this truely is about for biden and the democrats is people control not pollution control. The big oil companys support the republicans and the hippy liberals own the "clean energy" companies in this country. What they are doing is buying support from the left and trying to bankrupt the right. If he really cared about pollution he wouldnt own big homes and he would have got rid of his vette and bought a tesla. They pass laws and regulations without one consideration to the middle class that suffer from them. Why? because they dont have a clue how the middle class lives. You are a vote not a person to them.
Funny thing is they don't even know where food comes from. Turn off the power, turn off the water, and any metro area in America starts eating their pet dogs and cats in about 4 days. It will take them at least 48 hours to decide the blackout might be long term and we need to start going someplace else. Except they don't know where that is or realize that the locals are armed to the teeth AND will defend their own turf.
Did the Duracho back a bit here in eastern Iowa. Think sudden (like 45 minutes from nothing to howling) straight line winds at Hurricane force. Hurricanes you get lots of warnings for. Tornadoes you get okay warnings for. Duracho - nadda warning. Opened the eyes of a lot of people, particularly the core Lefties in Des Moines, Iowa City, all those enclaves of Liberalism.

Two big problems... The range is just short of my most ususal distance and here i need to run the heater all winter either driving or defrosting the vehicle. Heaven help the person caught in a drift for a couple of days.
And to make it worse, the leftists have been trying to remove the massive hydro dams on the Snake River for decades. Those dams account for 2/3rds of the electric power in our state.
Clean, reliable, and cheap energy. They created hundreds of recreation areas and allow cheap barging of the farmer's wheat and other grains to the sea ports.
Why do the insane leftists want to remove them? Because they claim they are harming the salmon migration.

I'm sure that "they" will figure it out someday. It probably won't be in my lifetime(or for those a lot younger than me). It probably won't involve elements in short supply thus expensive(lithium). Hopefully, it will be the downfall of politicians like Biden.
I would still like to have one. I don't get too far from home nowadays anyway.

There are some salt water batteries showing promise... but for now they are big and bulky. And they use up the battery plates over time so will need to swap batteries.
What negative folks we have here. So many standing in the way of progress and willing to kill the earth for your selfish desires.
You do not need RV's or pickup trucks. When it is cold you work from home until it warms up. Amazon will deliver your groceries if you are snowed in.
We need to do it for the children!!!

Son was all about that Musk PU, I asked why exactly… He runs a high stance Ram 4x4 Diesel PU that with a card change gets 30+ MPG said electric PU was just wonderful. Yeah, right. I said Go get youself a white Toyota PU in a turb diesel, like other places in the world….
I asked my PH in RSA why he had only those PUs, he said, no reason, I do not care, as long as it is white, diesel and a Toyota…..So son says, yeah just like Iraq and Afghanistan, yep, just like.

The acceleration of the Tesla is absolutely bonkers. You are pressed into the seat and imagine having to turn a water glass 90° to prevent a spill.
It is pure torque and it is all available instantly. The weirdest part is no engine noise only tires noise. The ludicrous mode is aptly named.
Wonder how happy all the battery car/truck owners were sitting in that parking lot waiting for Donner Pass to reopen after some semi's spun out and blocked all the lanes! I heard it took 4 hours...
