These same cars also require their own care, not the same as any other car, but I would not spontaneously trust thrm not to get trashed in the neighborhood. It just seems better when someone actually has to buy the electric car that he/she uses.

What could go wrong?

Ummm... When they find out what is in the drivetrain that can be turned into high dollar amounts for scrap.

Look at this thing though it is brilliant. This entity is probably getting federal and state $ dollars ( Just like Tesla ) for buying these things, so it is underwritten. The Org that is running it is probably Union State worker and their has got to be an Obama grant in their somewhere via HUD etc. So it is community outreach, someone else is paying for it, and you build DNC voters for eternity. Brilliant, until the Germans, Saudi's etc stop buying our T-Bills...

Just like in the movie "Shaw-Shank-Redemption" the line about the Warden, "that his kickbacks had kickbacks" it applies to Obama and he is building the structure that Beck warned us about.

How does any of this nonsense get turned off?....

Most of the money is in the car battery. Maybe some more if you can salvage or recycle the materials in the vehicle’s body.

I have never been to LA and don’t plan to go there. But there must be a store closer to where she lives. If she walks a mile to the bus how far away is the store? And she goes every day? Maybe the stores in her area were looted & burned. That seems to be a common sport these days.

Those cheapskates!!! They are degrading those po folk by making them meet “requirements” and “pay” something for the use of the vehicle. Why...they should require the “white privileged” to take these po folk wherever and whenever they want to go. By the way...if this isn’t insanity, I don’t know what it. Sheesh!

But for those with less cash to spare, those benefits have been largely out of reach...

It also takes cash some have to spare and makes sure that those with some cash can not get one.

There’s a blue bar below the article before the next article.

Example:

Jeffrey Tong · ShangriLa

Car-share is NOT a solution - it is a TRANSITION to sustainability! USING a car is still a problem. Single occupancy vehicles still cause traffic congestion, and BIGGER carbon footprint.... than walk, bike, and bus. The latter 3 combined should be used for moderate distances, and train or plane for long distances. Where it is a hardship to use bike or bus, use car-share sparingly. BIG PICTURE: Problem is poor public transit infrastructure - caused by GM and Firestone deliberately destroying the urban transportation infrastructure back in 1938.

Who pays for the insurance? Taxpayers?

I did, and I’ll never get the time back. What a bunch of effing morons.

So here’s an idea - photo essay of the interiors of these vehicles over the course of the first 30 days.
