1. Electric car in your future?
Consider the theoretical and the practical.
If you expect to buy an electric car be because it is gonna save the planet, get a clue: the electricity is generated in fossil fuel burning plants.
And if it's virtue-signalling...
“In fact, more than half of the Prius buyers surveyed this spring by CNW Marketing Research of Bandon, Ore., said the main reason they purchased their car was that ‘it makes a statement about me.’

....no one cares.
2. And if you are buying it to 'save' money.....well it looks like this is your moment...but if you think it saves time.....check out this WSJ article"
3. "Given our battery range of up to 310 miles, I plotted a meticulous route, splitting our days into four chunks of roughly 7½-hours each. We’d need to charge once or twice each day and plug in near our hotel overnight.
The PlugShare app—a user-generated map of public chargers—showed thousands of charging options between New Orleans and Chicago. But most were classified as Level 2, requiring around 8 hours for a full charge.
4. While we’d be fine overnight, we required fast chargers during the days. ChargePoint Holdings Inc., which manufactures and maintains many fast-charging stations, promises an 80% charge in 20 to 30 minutes. Longer than stopping for gas—but good for a bite or bathroom break.
5. Over four days, we spent $175 on charging. We estimated the equivalent cost for gas in a Kia Forte would have been $275, based on the AAA average national gas price for May 19. That $100 savings cost us many hours in waiting time.
But that’s not the whole story."

Are you beginning to notice a pattern in all the great ideas Democrats/Progressives have....open borders, special rights for authorized groups, socialism, nuclear weapons to Iran, infanticide, kangaroo courts......and electic cars for everyone?
Wake the heck up.
