Re: A Funny thing has happened to EV’s
Mainly because what was supposed to be "environmentally friendly", economical transportation has largely turned into "toys" for the wealthy!

Re: A Funny thing has happened to EV’s
You know it's interesting. In my City- 1 million pop. They have shown up
very slowly, and only in the affluent areas. In the part of Canada where we reside, winter can be vey harsh. The EV'S have not responded well to -40 degrees. If they normally get 300 miles on a charge, they will go down to 60-65 miles per charge. Then your stuck. But don't worry, you will hardly feel your body after 10 minutes. J.R. |

[QUOTE=Mike Gray;688710]Just light one on fire if you’re freezing, you can toast a lot of marshmallows with one./QUOTE]
Believe it or not electric vehicles catch fire less often that gasoline powered vehicles. However it certainly appears they are very difficult to extinguish. Also from what I see electric vehicle sales are up from last year, however supply has caught up with demand. A lot of folks who wanted electric cars have them. Instead of a long wait for say a Mustang Mach-E you can now get one off the lot. |

Re: A Funny thing has happened to EV’s
Funny thing is EV’s sales drop as gas prices drop but it's predicted that in the next decade EV’s will cause a crash in the oil market.
Fact is oil companies would have to sell gas at a loss for years to have any impact on EV sales. |

Re: A Funny thing has happened to EV’s
If the electrical grid is "taken out", where do you get power for heat pumps and EVs? Asking for a friend.
