EV’s are inferior in every major category. They are machines for fools.

That is not entirely true when it comes to acceleration and torque.
An electric motor is very efficient in producing power. This is why diesel electric motors power all ocean going vessels and locomotives.

I just watched a YouTube video over the weekend about the largest cruise ship in the world operated by Norwegian Cruise Lines.
It had multiple 16 cylinder diesel engines made in Italy.
Those engines then powered electric motors to actually drive the propellers. It was an interesting video to watch on how the ships actually run and how many people it takes.

The problem with EV’s are limited range, weight and the fact that they are NOT actually green. Only ignorant people think they are green because they have no idea where their electricity comes from.

FYI, I have a customer in Idaho Falls, ID that has a Tesla Model S Plaid. He took me for a ride in it. It is faster than a Porsche 911 Turbo. His electricity in Idaho comes mostly from hydroelectric and is cheap in comparison to most other places in our country. So, in his particular situation he MIGHT be GREEN. He still has an full size Dodge 4WD pickup to drive in the winter.

Americans figured this out 100 years ago. ICE won, EVs lost.
