Exactly. Up north will be bad.

Heat is free in an IC car - comes right off the engine. As a matter of fact, under certain conditions, running the heater is good for the car.

For an E car, you gotta heat up inefficient resistance strips, like a space heater - BIG drain.

Nope. They don’t. And don’t even think about the increased infrastructure and cost of the gigantic power lines, structures, and transformers, it would take to run their idiotic green dreams.

My 65 jeep would probably shake apart at that speed.

The bucket is geared so low.

It won’t stop trying to move.

If Chevy does this with a vette it will mark the end of western civilization.

It's bad enough now if some country were to hit us with EMP.

Imagine if most cars were electric how even worse it would be.

does anyone ever stop to think, that electricity to recharge your pollution free electric vehicle may well be generated by a fossil fuel power plant?

Nope. It's just a magical power source that is powered by unicorn farts isn't it?
