$6.00 gas would accomplish a few things. Off the top it would wreck economies, force automakers to produce more efficient power trains, and shorten my fishing trips. We seem to be heading to a more socialized form of government. Some would say communist. I certainly don't advocate for either, but I'm not in charge. Nor would I want to be. Already some of the Repugnants are leaving government because they couldn't get anything done.

Are EVs dead yet?
What's taking so long?

This Solar-Powered EV Is Promised for under $43,000 A lot less expensive than the Lightyear 0, this mass-market EV will be manufactured in the ‘hundreds of thousands,’ the company pledges. Thanks to solar panels, the Lightyear 2 will need to plug in for charging about a third less often than a conventional battery-electric vehicle and will have half the emissions. Given the right circumstances, the onboard energy collectors can double the range in the battery, providing more than 500 miles between charges from the grid. www.autoweek.com/news/green-cars/a42419262/lightyear-solar-powered-ev-promised-for-euro-40000/Bullshit story....

This is an industry in it's infancy. There will be giant leaps forward in both manufacturing and battery innovations. At present it's a great alternative to burning fossil fuel. Whether you want to believe it or not, the worlds chemistry is sliding down the road to perdition. Just look at the real changes in our atmosphere and our natural resources that are water related. The next big wars will be fought over water. Just filled up my Ram 2500 hd for $105.00 and burned a quarter tank trailering my boat from Key Largo to Miami. Not to mention the pollutants I released into the atmosphere. China is coming hard with EV's. They're in it for the long game. Better step up to the plate and compete or all the missiles and weapons won't mean shit if we can't breath. And I am definitely not a tree hugger. I like to kill shit. Problem is deterioration of our environment is very apparent where I fish (South Florida). I don't post fishing stories from back in the day as nobody here would understand them. Hence mother nature is telling us something's wrong. Can't wait for all the negative comments. You filled up your Ram because you can't tow your boat with a EV. At what point in time do you think you can buy a EV that can tow your boat at a reasonable cost. I'm not saying they aren't the future, although I have doubts, but they aren't the present and they should not be forced on us by the Government.

Problem is the majority of cheerleaders are oblivious to what it actually costs and the amount of work it takes to start a production car company. Especially when the car isn't appealing to the masses Rivian is going to fail also.

I put my name on my commemts. You wont. Gavinas are Gavinas. Come down here and explain to me how I'm fucking up the environmemt. My nephew is in Big Pine. Stop and see him. Preach your bullshit gospel to him. He will change you from a rooster to a hen with one shot.. Hiding behind a keyboard. The worst form of pond scum.

Quit thinking everything is about you. he is not correct, i also have seen hunting and fishing go downhill from 35 years ago. lake okeechoobie, most of the indian river ,the sea grass is gone manatees are starving to death, mahi fishing is a joke today compared to years ago on and on and on. gas had nothing to do with this and all the electric cars in the world wont fix it. as far as mr bacon i have no idea .

I'm not saying they aren't the future, although I have doubts, but they aren't the present and they should not be forced on us by the Government. I agree. Everyone should have their own choice. My Tesla doesn't have the tow capacity for my big boat. I have the Dodge which is rusted to shit from putting it in the water at Haulover at high tide. I'm currently considering trading up to a Hybrid truck for the additional towing capacity. Anybody interested in a '06 2500HD Crew Cab with 80m miles. Mechanically great, but body work is another story.
