I laugh at you stupid democrats, because you are lied to all the time, and never figure that out. News about Electric Cars.

California wants them gone.

Try and keep up, dodo.

I suspect BULLDOG knows thst but is pretending it aint so

Sure, California wants to transition to EVs, but not before a viable alternative is in place.

Thats not what their regulations say.

Did president Musk tell you that?

No, the CARB regulations. You should try reading them, then you won't be su h and ignorant clod.

They set a date

How do they know everything will be ready by then?

Greenies are acting very reckless

Are you sure? That sounds like something President Musk would say.

We don't know everything will be ready by then, but it is a reasonable target date that can and will be reconsidered closer to the target. You don't think there is time to adjust as needed as we become closer to that date?

Why ban ICE auto’s

The obvious answer is that the public must be strong armed by the greenies

Hearing you Democrats whine about Elon Musk being the ‘real president’ is hilarious considering how your current President Joe Biden doesn’t know what year it is and Americans have no idea who’s been actually been running the country the last four years.

EVs are a fool's errand for anyone drives any distance at all.

Hybrids are the way to go.

The electric component in the hybrid is so incosequential as to be practically useless only adding to the cost of the vehicle and contributing pretty much nothing in return.

Wrong

Long trips do take some planning ahead but smart cars will navigate you to the closest charging station.
The good side is you can commute 80 miles back and forth to work, throw the car on the charger overnight and start over with a full charge every day. Never have to visit a gas station

It is a change in mindset

If only there were some way for only people whose relatively short commutes and lack of interest in long trips would buy electric vehicles while people who make long commutes or other long trips would buy gas-only vehicles.

Oh, wait!

There is a mechanism that would ensure exactly that.

It's called, "The Free Market."

 

[justoffal]

Wrong

I drove one for a month.... A Toyota..... It was an SUV. Distance driving is done 90% by the gas engine. A full charge on the battery pack only gives a 25 mile range. While charging the battery as you're traveling Gas consumption is increased.... naturally due to the generator.

For the one month that I drove it back and forth to a distance job as a favor to my employer
The electric component was virtually unused.

So, it wasn't helpful to you and your daily long trips. Big deal. My daughter mostly just drives her hybrid around town and only about 6 miles to work. It's great for her and is even able to make occasional longer trips to Houston or San Antonio without any concerns. People buy what works best for them. You don't understand that?

Ahhh....
I agree that they are great for around town.
I have an all-electric but I also own a gas powered vehicle. Almost all of the errands running is done with the EV... And yes it's much better to take a long trip with a hybrid than full EV..... It's a lot safer.

Not true at all. In fact in hypercars it is THE way to go for four wheel drive. The engine powers the rear wheels, and the front wheels are driven by dedicated motors.

The performance is amazing.

Sure... You store up energy as you go and release it all at once when you need it. The Hp increase is massive.

Not just that but it is the lightest way to get a power train on a wheel. Imagine all the mechanical linkages for a four wheel drive system.

Poof, gone. Hybrids rule Le Mans.

Hybrids have their place.

I like the fact that the electric motors are independent.... Good skid control.
