JimmyBT Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 IMO they would have gotten to the end result faster had they pushed hybrids down our throats and then transitioned to EVs. People that own EVs don’t like them. Unreliable and inconvenient. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "end result" is 2/3 fewer humans with no cars at all. EV mandates are merely a transition phase. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimmyBT Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 And hybrids were supposed to be a transition phase that was stupidly skipped because they wanted faster control of the power grid. Ya I’m naive. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mspart Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Perhaps the new idea of solid state batteries will come to the rescue. Actually, these look very promising. Charge faster and hold more charge. Win win. mspart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hybrids make a heck of a lot more sense really. Until something changes and EVs can "gas" up in 10 minutes and give another 300-400 miles before repeating, EVs will be an in town only solution weather permitting. mspart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
