Spent 2 weeks at Lexington KY for work at the Lexmark printer factory around 2000.
Really liked KY and the people, everybody seemed friendly and harmonious compared to here in MA.

Considering CHINA i wonder if that factory is even still there now...

Yea i don’t see electric cars working in big states like yours or even in city’s.
What is a city resident gonna run an extension cord 2 blocks down the street to where they finally found a parking spot?
Are apartment complexes going to provide 150 charging stations for their residents?
What about our fragile power grid that can barely handle air conditioners?
We ready for the multi-billion dollar upgrade?

Here in MA our electric rate is through the roof because the moonbats refuse a pipeline to bring in more natural gas, the same moonbats are pushing electric vehicles.
bizzaro land i live in...

What about our fragile power grid that can barely handle air conditioners?

This one is my absolute favorite, and you nailed the gorilla in the room. The amount of KW’s needed to power a car are staggering compared to every other electric need we have. Now, sure, we can all say that the higher electric bill is justified since we’re no longer buying gas, but the grid itself can’t handle a sudden doubling (or more) of electricity use.

It’s kinda comical. ELectric cars only work if only a very small part of the population uses them. As long as gas is cheap, this is going nowhere in the US. In Europe, where it is much easier to control the lemmings, anything is possible. And they get to be our canary in the coal mine. :)
