Electric Cars: Chev Bolt seems to be the first practical one.

Read again, the topic was a tesla towing a trailer up a mountain pass.

I almost regret posting that vid...Almost, the trailer was within the max tow rating of the model X
Range who knows but I didn't see a tow truck

Plugging during cold weather is required to both warm the batteries and to warm the cabin interior without depleting the limited battery capacity.

You have experienced this?

The topic is the national average source of electrical distribution , not cooking the books with a local statistical abnormality.

You're saying the local price don't matter?

Lets have the great and wise Egon educate us please .

Nice compliments B&D, thank you.
But, again you have missed the truth as I'm neither great or wise.

You want answere's?, been looking for years?, been looking real hard?? Stymied??, try Google !

Anything you google will give you the current pc answers for several pages. But you knew that, didn't you?
But explain those periods to us in your own words, based on historical data, not the revised versions the warmers have been throwing out in recent years.

That doesn't look much like a car, you know, the subject of this thread?

You're late to the party Top. Read back to Buick's question I was responding to. Question was something to do with the "fact" that only a few could afford EVs. I gave the base price of the newly introduced Tesla 3 as well as a few other fairly popular vehicles. The LC was just for Houston as that's what he drives along with all the other well off soccer moms.

I saw it, my point was the price of a daily commuter should compare favorably to other daily commuters.

I'm not knocking EV's, they have a place, they are not now nor likely to ever replace other modes of power.

Nobody is arguing that EVs will replace ICE. ICE powered autos didn't completely replace horses and there are good reasons to think that ICE or at least hybrids will be a major part of transportation for a long time to come. Ranchers in Montana and long haul truckers will need ICE for the foreseeable future. Suburbanites across the country may well see a dramatic changeover to EV and hybrid in the next 10 years however. Even Houston is likely to own an EV some day (but not before EVs are cool for his soccer mom buddies).
