I think Rahm Emanuel’s time would be better spent getting rid of the gangs and gang killings then worrying about air quality in Chicago.

One thing about commie libs, they love to spend other people’s money. Cheap bass turds with their own though. The patriotic and “green” thing for this turd to do is pay for the first shipment of this junk out of his own pocket.

lol... just thinking about the amount of electricity that would need to be generated to charge all of the batteries that it would take to move 500 tons of goods down the road for any length of time.
Hey... why stop there? why not electric trains?

It’s only a matter of time until you are ordered to buy a Government Motors Mini-Volt (made in South Korea, naturally)

LMAO.... Has anything Chicago has done has ever been successful??
I see trucks all over Chicago pulled off to the side of the road — dead batteries..... and when it’s freezing out — dying people.

^^ Hey... why stop there? why not electric trains? ^^
You are aware that trains are electric, right? They run diesel generators and use electric drive axles, the original “hybrid”. Streetcars, subways, and the like are pure electric.
What I am waiting for is a tandem dumptruck, or snow plow that is all electric.

It’s my understanding that diesel vehicles are very nearly pollution-free vehicles as is.
A very silly man.

Im waiting on the first electric 747.I suppose that could be done.
How long it lasts depends on the starting airspeed and altitude.
Batt A and Batt B switch position might not really matter.

To: JRandomFreeper
You’re correct.
After a few hundred miles, the battery A and battery bvswitch will not matter. :)

I guess putting “747” stickers on the Gossamer Albatross won’t cut it for you?
