Electric cars have a long way to go to give us the safety margin of gasoline, I don’t want my life depending on an electric engine when driving through blizzards in the mountains, at sub zero temperatures.

This vehicle is a hybrid. The first 40 miles are electric and afterwards it uses a regular gas engine and gas tank to go farther.

I don’t want my children sitting on top of 20 gallons of highly flammable liquid while there are constant explosions 36” from my crotch every time I drive a car.

Tesla has proven electric cars are superior to gasoline cars.

Tesla can produce a 500 mile range car today but would cost $160k or so.

The issue now is ramping up to get the economies of scale needed to drive down the price for a mass market vehicle.

Then the West stops transferring $1 Trillion per year to the Kremlin and the Muslims.

We had a low of 34 so far this winter ...

This one can function as an emergency generator to keep you and the family warm if power goes out.
