LOVE IT!!!!
The people in that car probably never thanked those working men.
If I had to drive an electric car, I’d be carrying a gas generator and an extra gallon or two of gas.
When you consider the entire environmental lifecycle cost of an electric car it exceeds the environmental lifecycle cost of a gas car. This includes mining and not including the cost of turning the blasted landscape to something resembling nature. Also, what do you do with the dead batteries? Fifty years from now, they will be incredibly toxic waste dumps.
All of electric cars will go away as the public begins to see those smug sanctimonious ba$tard$ for what they are. They’re right up there with vegetarians. (Have you ever met a vegetarian who didn’t tell you HE was vegetarian? I always respond with, “gosh, I’m sorry.” which leaves them with their mouth open. The advantage is I never have to listen to them preach again.)
SO! if an EV is illegally parked and is towed, the car is destroyed? LOL
A snowflake car for snowflakes.
And did they reimburse the company for the electricity they used at the guard shack?
“Giving the vehicle a tow was out of the question, he wrote, because ‘it was all plastic underneath and nothing to hook up to.’”
Money quote - expect NO EVS PICKED UP signs on tow trucks soon.
“it was all plastic underneath...”
Sounds like the dash board in my 2001 Dodge truck. But the rest is steel.
Must be a “Use till battery dies, then toss and replace entire auto.” electric toy.
So what is never covered.... When the batteries die, how do you recycle them, are you just going to bury them, as that is very earth friendly. No one thinks long term, especially people saving the planet, like 2 of my brother’s, environmentalists... Crickets for answers.
Yep. The earth is torn up to mine those precious rare metals, often by Third World child laborers, and then after their short lives the batteries have to be disposed of . . . unless they catch fire and burn. Same with windmill blades. There are gigantic piles of broken blades littering the landscape.
The miners showered afterwards, to make sure none of the dumbassery rubbed off.
I wonder if those people tried intentionally to block the haul road to the mine?
Excellent!!
Incidents like this are becoming more common as more battery-powered toy vehicles hit the roads. The optics are going to be great to watch.
They probably coasted to a stop, dead, and turned in to the drive to the coal plat.
