“200 miles on a charge. 8 hours to do a full charge. This is not about getting rid of green house gasses. This is about controlling people.”

Exactly. Nothing but a push to ensure you can’t go anywhere.

How efficient are those electric cars in the winter? How far will they go when it is 10F, slipping in the snow and ice, and your heater, defroster, lights, wipers, etc. are zapping your battery?

If you get stuck away from a charger, how do you recharge? Instead of a quick can of gas and a jump-start, you will need to be towed. Time to buy futures in towing companies?

Barring some breakthrough in battery technology, the future of car tech is evolving to be a hybrid internal combustion/electric vehicle with an appropriately sized battery pack, regenerative braking to recapture the kinetic energy from the deceleration and a very efficient, compact internal combustion engine or fuel cell to charge the battery at peak efficiency

Bringing us back closer to the pre-railroad days of transportation.

Ride our "electric horse" a couple of hundred miles, and stop for the night at a tavern while our steed recharges on "hay and oats" coming from a long ways away transported on wires with resistance and reactance losses, from a "field" of coal, oil or gas.

That's what peaking stations run on, as there's no sun at night, when most folks will be recharging their cars.

Oh wait! Due to the lockdown most of the taverns have gone bankrupt and no longer exist.

They want to make it so that the only way you will be able to leave your local area is to obtain a permit and submit to being searched.

We are headed into a very dark time in world history.

Tesla vehicles are getting around 350 miles on a full charge. The next generation of care batteries will see 500+ miles.
