Are we ever going to have a discussion about electric cars, and how they are not pollution free? In many places, the electricity to recharge electric cars comes from coal fired power plants. The environmental extremist types would be mortified to know that. Electric cars can actually generate their dreaded greenhouse gases.

In addition, our power grids are not capable of handling the load generated, if we suddenly had tens of millions of electric cars on the road. We don’t currently have the capacity to handle such volumes.

Just about enough time to go into the Church’s chicken attached to the gas station and have a snack or short meal.

Solid-State Batteries possibly by 2025, major players threw big money @ these game changers, see below. Possible 2x to 3x the energy density of what will come out next yr or so. The links below....

Like paying them to have sex with you...

German cars have electrical issues on their best day. Can't imagine an all electric German car.

And yes, ALL German cars VW, BMW and Audi.

If you have one and you're good you're in the minority.

Warned a buddy a few years back. Four times the window got stuck and later the computer. Under warranty for him fortunately. He had no more luck with the BMW.

I owned an Audi myself. Not impressed.
