Personally I think this is earth shattering.

Not. At. Gunpoint.

So, how does roadside service charge an EV whose battery is out of juice on the highway? Do they bring a charger to them?

When you run out of gas, they will deliver some gas to your vehicle.

Was just curious.

I simply do not want an EV because it is an expensive step backwards for me. The premise of why governments are requiring them is based on a Marxist fantasy - globull warming.

The only positive I have identified for an EV is the instant torque. Cost of refueling with gasoline vs electricity when all costs are included is not a positive for EV - maybe a push - but in no way creates an incentive for me.

The negatives are many and significant.

I do not like like taking steps backwards like we have been forced to do multiple times by the Watermelon (green on the outside all red on the inside) folks. Those include saving water by poorly doing the laundry while taking 3x as longer. Same with the dishwasher. Low flow toilets and showers. Florescent lights. These have been forced on us, do a poor job, are inefficient wasting time and lowering productivity, create extra unaccounted for costs. EVs are to me in this same vein.

I don’t want one, and will work very hard to keep my ICE powered cars until I don’t need a car anymore or until the EV actually becomes a step forward, which it is not today.

Id love an electric car if there was a break-thru in electric power. Batteries in their current form don’t cut it; too heavy and too long to charge. Maybe some future tech like figuring out how to tap into quantum vacuum energy.

I would love to have a velomobile.

You can't take it out on the highway, though.

Unless you can pedal really, really fast.

If they were cheap I’d have an EV for commuting to work. They’re not, so no deal.
