    I just realized that globalized EVs means no more videos of idiots filling up trash cans in a crisis.

    Instead they’ll be carrying armfuls of camouflaged extension cords.

    Your exact words: “What if their own judgment is formed on the basis of ignorance, fear, superstition, xenophobia, and rage?” Yes. You are assuming people are all these things, so you are in fact ignorant. You don’t even know who I am or who anybody else is yet you’re forming an idea based of an assumption.

    How about remembering that there are other opinions than your own in the world? Or do you have too much of a narcissistic complex?

    Move into their house, burn your own down for heat.

    Or stock up and build a manure pile, add heat exchanger inside pile.

    Go with geothermal, and a genset for backup power to run it.

    You don’t even know what you’re replying to or why you’re angry. Figure that out before you try again.

    I’m not angry at all. Just trying to make sure you’re aware that there are other views than your own

    And what views would those be?

    You speak of not knowing people, take some of your own medicine.

    Man, talk about angry. Hahaha you’re the one who seems angry. You’re arguing just to argue. We can all have our own views and opinions. I’ve already stated my view / opinion. And that is people should be able to buy a brand new gas powered vehicle in 2035 if they want to rather than not having that option by government implementation. If you want to drive an electric vehicle that’s fine, if you want to drive a diesel / or gas that’s fine too.

    When your views and opinions are noted to be formed on a false narrative, be prepared to be called out on them. Or otherwise stay quiet.

    I believe the OPs topic, interpreted from their first post, is the current viability, usefulness of Electric Vehicles on today's roads. .... and reset, Go.

    On a false narrative? Man, I’m sorry that I triggered you by having a meaningful discussion from different view points other than yours. Maybe I believe your view points are based on a false narrative as well. Agree to disagree. That’s the beauty of todays world. I’m not going to tell you to be quiet though because this is a forum where people can openly (obviously to a certain extent) talk about things.
