I’m sticking with ICE. Yeah, EVs aren’t bad for city commuters, but I can hop in my ICE cars and go any route I want and always find a gas station that I can fill up at in a few minutes.

Actually looking forward to the next Atlanta snowstorm with EV's on the road. This was 2014. Imagine if they were ALL EV's.

Heck, I learned long ago to stay home with any hint of bad weather in the south.

I had a 4x4 F-350 with locking hubs.

I could move but the road was blocked by 1000 minivans with mad moms.

Here:...Government isn't the solution to our problems, government is the problem.

Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them.

The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help".

Yup I agree. No EV here either. They just do not make any sense to me. So many hidden/unspoken issues with them, but they are sold as better and a way to save the planet.

How can they say they are going to save the world by eliminating ICE and adding millions of EVs? Our power grid can't handle the current needs, so adding millions of EV will help?

How do you dispose of the Lithium batteries? See stories in the media (Kind of surprised this was let out) of early Tesla's with batteries that are now starting to fail. People are just walking away from them. Twelve to Fifteen year old cars Now the batteries are starting to fail. The cost of the new replacement is more than the cars value. So there sits many a piles of poison (battery) and how do we dispose of it. This is going to get really ugly.

Basically I could not make it to the next major city from my area without a couple of all night stays to recharge.

No they are not for me!
