Doesn’t the EPA make sure almost every lithium battery is imported from China ? If manuf. is so toxic here, it’s obviously fine over there, another planet you know !

An acquaintance on FB posted that in 7300 miles her Tesla told her she saved 292 gallons of gas, and 339 trees.

Too bad her Tesla didn't save 339 late-term murdered babies instead of 339 trees. . .

It set the road on fire

Burning roads are not good.

Why would anyone ever buy a GM or any American car for that matter?

I remember when GM made the best cars but that’s 50 years ago.

Yes but my post just said Old School was good. Other person said 1979.

But in let’s say 1962 we had reasonable Dems and free speech and freedom of association and other things. CA and AZ had true Republicans on the upswing.

In the 1950s the cars and movies and TV were great.

I’d better stop.
If every day we live now gets worse (2020 and 2021, anyone????)
then any older time was “the good old days.”

I think you swipe your credit card or use SamsungPay or ApplePay.

Our local school district (K-8) installed solar panels over all of the parking lots and put a lot of charging stations under the panels. I think employees could park there and get FREE recharges when they first opened up!

One company I worked for had EV chargers in the parking lot, but employees could only use it for one hour. There were many times I’d be in a meeting and somebody would say “Excuse me, I have to go move my car.” Even the CFO would do that! I think they were charged back via the payroll system.

I have always enjoyed referring to those electric vehicles as “coal fired and nuclear powered cars”

Gasoline carbecues are a thing too.
Enough so that reports thereof elicit little more than a grunt.

“For all you Chevy Bolt owners on FR ‘s “

Hard to imagine any conservatives here dumb enough to buy an electric car.

Basically, if government mandates them, they will be produced and sold, even if they kill everybody who ever rode in them.

Good thing they have not recalled the 2002 Toyota Avalon.

Sucks to be GM. But Tesla will continue to crush the competition, even if Biden doesn’t invite Elon to the White Hosue.

Where is the hybrid vehicle that burns gasoline and firewood?

Am I the only one asking how we are going to charge the damn things if everyone is going to be driving one a couple of years? A simple question but no one is asking.

First things first, increase energy production capacity then consider switching everyone over to electric cars. We are certainly not increasing power production. Actually, we are reducing power production or capping it.

Dumb, stupid.

If you could have arranged for free solar panels, you’d be all set — not kidding.
