@taz @Pat And yet California wants to completely phase out combustion engines to get more EVs on their overloaded and overpriced grid 🤦♂️
They really are living in a different world over there.
(Not that my home state of Florida is much different in that respect)

But we're nowhere close to that yet."
I'm there already, for years now. I've been driving my electric for years now and it's just great:
- it's pennies/kWh instead of $4.00/gal
- Virtually no maintenance
- Very quiet
- Better performance (high torque)
- I don't have to stop at a gas station to fill it, I just plug it in at night like a cell phone
- I don't get smelly gas all over my hands and clothes
- I don't have to breathe in those smelly fumes at the gas station
- I don't start it up or warm it up, it just goes
- Don't breathe in that smelly exhaust
@Pat @taz It doesn't matter "where you are" when our energy grid is still powered by fossil fuels.
@Pat @taz To some folks' egos, sure. It does not, however, matter to the environment. Not yet.
@LouisIngenthron @taz
Facts are facts. Electric cars use less energy.
@Pat @taz Only when you ignore manufacturing and disposal costs.
@LouisIngenthron @taz
It matters.
