Battery based electric vehicles of today and tomorrow.

[Slowpoke Slim]

This reinforces my EV point.
What is the purpose of going electric?
According to EV proponents it's to save planet Earth, get rid of nasty polluting coal and petroleum.
Also because since that EV can be charged at home either free by sunshine or at a free or inexpensive public station you're getting 150 mpg equivalent.
Therefore these gigaplex factories, the public and private charging systems whether wind, solar, hydro, or nuclear...that entire process start to finish...building million sq.ft. factories, tons of steel, other metals and plastics, manufacturing those 100Ks of EVs, batteries, solar panels, wind turbines, nuclear plant production, the recycling process...all of that...ALL of it causes zero pollution, zero environmental impact, and the end result is we'll now have (by 2035, 2050 whenever ICE everything is phased out and no more petroleum) we'll now have pure, clean air and water while stopping global warming since nothing in that process creates heat.
Clean, pure, cool free or inexpensive electric.
I'm totally amazed!
I'm so grateful for those in power, the CEOs, etc having our best interest at heart.
WOW!!!!!
Oh, I'm sorry, have to go now...Santa and the Tooth Fairy are at the door...

The sad thing is, you'd be shocked how many people truly believe that stuff.

More so than believe in Santa or the Tooth Fairy.

Then there’s the environmental impact of windmills and solar panels once they’re out in the field and operating…..

I don’t like them, but accept them. But what’s funny is some folks acting like they’re a panacea when they are far from it.

Would rather see perfectly good nuclear power.

My local utility just sent out this missive with the billings..

Active Charging Locations.

Elmira High School.
Pleasant Hill High School.
Cottage Grove High School.
Mohawk High School.

"Emerald-Go chargers are open to staff, students and the public. With these level two chargers, you can expect to gain about 25 miles of range, for each hour of charging."

25 miles of range for each hour of charging....
So, after an hour of charge, I can drive to Eugene from Pleasant Hill? Charge another hour to get back?

And school buses are yellow.

You know what that has to do with the discussion?

Nothing.

Same as your reply above.

So you're agreeing with my statement that there IS a mandate in California?

Thanks for the affirmative reply.

Make sure to respond to airbiscuit and steppenwolfe that they are WRONG and that there is indeed, a state government that has mandated that you can no longer buy an ICE vehicle after a certain date.

Not sure why they are confused by that, but I'm sure you can clear it up for them by putting up another sunset picture.

Ax grinding...

I'm ordering the $5,000 slide out camp kitchen with my Rivian. I believe the other side has a slide out toilet option.

Did you forget to fill the car before taking off from the house? I live far enough out of town that it's pretty important for me to make sure i have enough fuel when i go home, to make it to the gas station, cause i can't fill it up at home.

The Amish way is probably better. The mandates will probably get us all there eventually, they are ahead of the game and nobody knows it.

The Amish use more small gas engines than anybody...

This must be where they are sourcing them.
