They had a Tesla inside my local mall. there was a poster on it stating, $7,500 federal tax credit when you buy one! I gave it the finger and walked away.

No problem for Sec of Energy Jennifer Granholm. With a wave of her Spock eyebrows she has staffers drive ahead and block chargers for her.

If anyone shows up at my house and needs a charge in order to get home, I’m going to oblige them.

Nearly 104 million people are expected to drive at least 50 miles from their homes between December 23 and January 1,...

50 miles? That is nothing. I think this article is more geared to people wanting to drive 200 miles from their homes.

I've been in that situation with my ICE cars, getting lost going to a relative with a new home, going back and forth until finding the home. What I have learned is to carry a small reserve 2-gallon gas can on long trips, especially at night. 50 miles is nothing, and only a fool ventures out on long trips with a half-empty tank.

I’ve suggested a network of privately-owned EV charging stations at homes, businesses, and farms. Each powered by a nice gas or diesel generator where the user would be provided with suitable jerry cans and directions to nearby gas stations so they could obtain fuel, have their credit card scanned, and begin charging their EV. Snacks could be extra-cost options ;-)

If EV owners won’t follow my example, it’s their own stupid fault.

No Wise Man ever drove an electric car.

I’ll charge my wife’s family for free, just to help them on their way.

Someone just called our 911 and they wanted information on a charging station. Then they called the non emergency number and wanted detailed info on the charging stations.

Speaking of EV’s and their serious limitations, I haven’t seen TeslaGator around in quite some time.

“...powered by a nice gas or diesel generator...”

And that will never get past the zoning laws. What you’re proposing is exactly the opposite for the government’s pushing of EV’s.

One severe cold snap here in the next month will result in dozens if not hundreds of innocent tree huggers freezing to death on the highways driving EV’s. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth blaming Trump for the debacle.

I was driving a few summers ago during a heat wave. There was a wreck a few miles up the road that backed up traffic for an hour or two, I sat nice and cool as my diesel idled away keeping the AC running. When the traffic started moving again there were dozens of electric cars that had to be pushed off the road.

“”Speaking of EV’s and their serious limitations””

Last year we drove from Sacramento to Denver and back. I started keeping track of Teslas and other EVs. Across the Great Salt Lake Basin, I did not see one. (I drive the speed limit, so many, many cars pass by). Then there is Wyoming. Hundreds and hundreds of miles with not much around, other than incredible beauty, and not one EV. We did notice trains pulling hundreds of containers, often double-stacked. AND, thousands of trucks pulling those containers to their ultimate destination. Some of the trucks were pulling three containers.

So much of that activity and commerce would grind to a halt if the trucks had to be EV. I sincerely doubt that any EV truck driver would attempt to pull three containers.

Also, during one of our gasoline SUV ‘charging’ stops (usually takes 5-6 minutes to ‘charge’ our gasoline SUV) we witnessed the hilarity of charging what appeared to be a brand new Audi EV SUV. It was so hilarious we decided to extend our stop and get a bite to eat. The EV SUV driver had to use his phone (app?) to do anything. He first charged for about fifteen minutes. He then returned the charging cord and opened up his phone again. He then reconnected the charger to the SUV and went into the same diner as us. We finished eating after about 45 minutes, and the SUV driver was still staring at his phone.
