All of that and California will have to up the ante for EVs without a secure local charging station.

And of course NONE of the components are made using ANY petro related items. All natural plastic, rubber, lubrican.......... Oh?! Well at least during the manufacturing process only solar and wind turbines are used to supply the energ-—————— Oh!? Well.......... Never mind.

I recently turned 74. I will be out of here, hopefully, before any more of these nutty EV ideas take complete hold.

On one side we have the environmental wackos trying to shut down any type of power generation coming from any source except solar, wind and water(only if it does not include building dams). Meanwhile on the other side, they want only EV autos. I guess with the libs in Cal looking the other way with all the urban outdoorsmen crapping in the street, they are getting insensitized for the horse patties coming as we revert back in time to the horse era.

With electric cars you don’t actually have to see where the energy is coming from, since the conversion to electricity takes place somewhere else. So you can call it “environmentally friendly” with the east that you can call a man a woman if that man, I mean woman, chooses.

"Inventor James Dyson shows electric cars are too easy to make. That’s why his US$2.5 billion project was doomed to fail"

That's absolute nonsense. If it's so easy, why did it fail?

It failed because there are dozens of IC (internal combustion) powered vehicles that provide better transportation for their buyers. They get owners reliably to their desired destinations comfortably (they give heat, air conditioning, cushioning, and adequate space) and safely (they have adequate range, fuel sources, reliability, and crashworthiness), and price for their owners.

Dyson obviously couldn't compete. Let him make hair dryers, they're "easy to make".

It takes more workers to put together the electronic systems for the Tesla, than it does to set up and install the engine and transmission systems for gasoline vehicles. There is no “carbon savings” from battery run vehicles.

Dyson? I buy his vacuum cleaners and the quality has consistently fallen with each new vacuum.

There is no way I’d buy one of his cars.

The last Dyson Animal vacuum I bought has one of the world’s most powerful motors! It’s truly amazing!

Unfortunately, it is attached to a poorly constructed, lightweight frame that’s barely capable of handling the world’s weakest motor, not the most powerful.

It’s sorta like a 426 Hemi stuffed into a Yugo. It was amazing for as long as it lasted, which was not long.

Dyson should go back to his roots and try making quality vacuums again.

If he and his company can show me they can manage the small stuff, I might trust them with something bigger.

Until then, I’m waiting on customer service for parts ...
