The one shaped like chile that made all its money out of gas and oil

Non-plug-in Hybrid : way to go for now imo

Most cost effective to run ; insurance decent on ‘em ;

Repair facilities / mechanics Will work on them if need ;

Can resell / trade in .

We should do an anonymous Poll on how many of us own an EV

I’d be curious . : run Anonymous , people’d be less shy to vote .

I'm of the same thinking.

Conspiracy theory: are electric cars a con used by governments to control and restrict our ability to travel?? Possible evidence of a future tyrannical dystopian society in the making???? DID I TAKE MY MEDICATION TONIGHT??????

Old technology! Pat Mustard had an electric milk float.

And sure it was a death trap, nearly killed poor Dougal !

Ignorance ; or lack of care to Learn about the issue ,

blindly taking govt. propaganda / and the govt. financial Incentive to switch .

If the govt has to Pay one to switch , already that’d be enough for me to look

deeper into the issue / whatever it may be .


Others could be cognitive dissonance : it’s the latest greatest pretty thing ,

Status symbol , fit in with the Joneses - even if detrimental to environment

and the future — have to continue to Believe the lie .


There’d be several of my guys who drive electric — because they’re “nice cars” ,

and more than one mentioned the generous tax-break / refund / incentive to get one .

Some not aware of the greater picture ; others are , but status and pretty plaything etc.



It is the willful Lie of the govts I have an issue with : they Know and yet they continue to

drive whole western civilization down the path . Most people don’t care , don’t know .

Oh , I’m trying to remember : one western country already doing a U-Turn on their EV policy .

Can’t remember which : Canada ?

Hallelujah

Interesting points in this post Stephanie.

Self charging hybrids seem to be the best option imo. I'm tempted for full ev, however it's changing so fast and possible price war from next year will force prices down. Tesla will be the one to watch I reckon..their influence on the market will determine prices, but their technology is well ahead of the rest.

Forget electric cars, they’re a fad, they are too expensive to produce, they have no sell on value and there’s a finite world supply of lithium so battery production issues will sink the whole concept.
Biodiesel is the way off the future, cheap to produce and an endless supply of clean fuel, get your money into Biofuel

It comes at the price of increased food prices .

Look into it .
