EVs are so stupid and crappy that the government is trying to mandate them.

I think this technology is at least a decade away of being practical. I looked seriously at one and can’t justify the cost. The range sux. And if you put as many miles each year on a car as I do, there isn’t always a charging station like a gas station and then you have to wait to charge. But the whole fuel economy thing - I wouldn’t save enough in gas to justify the price. Resale sux too, because used EVs have less range. I could go on and on but it’s just not practical.

Every time I see scores of cordless tools discarded because the battery is shot and replacing the battery is about as expensive as the tool...

So YOU are the one that has been rooting around in my garage!!!

I couldn’t bring myself to buy what I perceive to be a “disposable” car.

Why not?

How many tv - radio repair shops are in your neighborhood?
