...Anyway, EV’s are coming in the next few decades. And once people really see them their popularity will grow.
Water finds its level.

What you call fear, I prefer to call intelligent caution. You're the poster boy for the old saying "A fool and his money are soon parted". In typical Marxist fashion you want everyone to jump aboard your new liferaft "because" you got suckered in on a new toy. Do you see the Emperor's new clothes? How magnificent they are, because you tell us all the time. How silly we are for not seeing them. You got bamboozled. Somehow you feel that using child labor and diesel powered earth movers to strip mine the Earth for minerals is okay. All in nations that don't GAF about the environment nor human rights all in the name of dropping gasoline. Why? Because the Earth is dying. Let me be the first person to tell you that the Earth will be here after you die and will continue just fine as well. Man isn't affecting the Earth's ozone or C02 to the point of extinction. I get it, you're scared. You've been told the Earth is rapidly heating up and that's causing the place to crash and burn and you feel personally responsible or at least want the ribbon dujour upon your breast to show neighbors that are scared too that you're doing something. You hold your little fists up to the sky and curse gasoline stations as you pass them all while not even noticing the petroleum used to manufacture your shiny animal and environment friendly non- internal combusting engine. Why it doesn't even make a sound...how cute. Why the simple act of putting your new toy on the grid...the very grid that is most likely powered by nuclear or coal powered plants (GASP!) and that in some cases is the fault of brownouts and blackouts due to usage today will never be a problem as tax dollars are used to place charging stations so you can make it out of your county on a tank of electricity. I'll be the first person to tell you that the petroleum industry is NEVER going to go away. EVER. Meanwhile, each day there are more headlines that make anyone on the verge of plunking down close to 100K for a vehicle of your choosing wary. Wary that they're being scammed. Wary that it's not right. Wary of the dangers this vehicle is to the very environment people want to save. Please, tell us all how you're the leader of the EV and delight us with your newfound ways and rub all of our unwashed noses in it.

D, your rage against things is as constant as the North Star.

You know what, never even look at, ride in, or consider and EV. Just pay $70 to fill up where it’s cheap and I’ll pay $11.50. Then spend some private time with a small plushy unicorn.

Focus on the source of all truth, scientific, engineering of other wise: YouTube!

Awe...another sucker that thinks the moniker is reflective of mood. Shame to pop your widdle green balloon. I'm laughing at how damned gullible people like you are with the whole green movement.

Never disputing the links I'm posting that are not only showing the costs of EV's going up, but that it's really not all it's cracked up to be. You, of course being the perfect greenie only travel 5 miles a day to this job where you're creating your new nirvana. Talk about unicorns![gonzo]

All of the articles I've posted are true. It's you, that don't want to believe them.

LOLZ!!!!

See, Brewha's opinions and thoughts are his OWN... they were all created through PFM (that's pure fkn magic) in his own brain without any outside influence WHATSOEVER. No reading, no research, no talking or listening to others' opinions. He formulated his all on his own.

So if you don't post your own original thoughts, you know... like he always does... you're just doing what you see in moving pictures and such.

Lord, I apologize fer that... please be with the pygmy's in New Guinea.

Can’t wait to see the kids for Xmas….

No macs, I’m a Principal Engineer with 35+ years in the field who actually owns an EV - not some spanky who cannot articulate their view other than to post an opinion piece on YouTube. What I write is direct experience and verifiable fact.

That is to say, I don’t need someone to speak for me.

Neither do I. I'm not a "principal engineer", but I was a steam plant engineer... and I am able to read and comprehend.

What you're doing is extremely anecdotal. You want to make a difference? Stop using all power that isn't green. Don't charge your car with anything but wind and solar. What are you going to do with the batteries when they die? Are you aware of what mining for the lithium required for those batteries does to the environment?

Stop flying. Don't take diesel trains. In fact, don't order a damn thing from Amazon because anything you want is shipped on diesel powered boats to docks where they're offloaded with diesel powered cranes, and loaded on diesel powered trucks. Those UPS, Fedex, and USPS vehicles? Gas or diesel.

Much like the politicians who tell us we must go green while they fly around the world in YUGE jets with their YUGE limousines... your doing nothing more than virtue signaling.

Impressive, I was a Senior Engineer. On various projects, I've had a Nuclear Systems Ph.D. engineer that reported to me as well as PEs (Professional Engineers), and even a Civil engineer that was an author of concrete testing standards, sounds impressive, but I was just a mid-level manager. Meh.
