I have read many articles on this. I can't pay more attention to it though. I'm tapped out. I will plan to stay at my present level of staying fairly well informed on the topic and the impacts and the stakeholders in this policy.

Go back a few pages where I can as laughed at for pointing out people have EMF sensitivity and that high emf fields that these cars can put out can make people sick.

No one has posted it today. I’ll take a logarithmic reduction in fires with EVs versus ICE. I can see having differing takes on this since EV fires are harder to put out. |

Honda Stands Firm on Full Electrification Efforts
https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a6...ation-efforts/
----------------- Of all the automakers, I'm actually most eager to see Honda go full EV. From their lame naturally aspirated engines that have zero torque below 5000rpm, to their garbage automatic transmissions, to their even more garbage CVT transmissions, and now castrating their lineup by getting rid of the few good powertrains they might have had, they might as well just throw in the damned towel already and go EV! The new Toyota Prius is faster than the damned Honda Civic SI. Come the f*** on Honda!!!!! The CTR is about the only good vehicle they make at the moment, and even the Civic has turned into a massive car that's bigger than the Accord I used to have. Honda needs to rethink their entire lineup. Going full EV could only help them at this point. |

The EU folks are stupid, the questions how stupid are we?
If They Let China Get Away with THIS They’re Crazy This guy has it right! Personally I'm all for a invasion of cheap Chinese EV's. This will finish this stupid EV boondoggle quickly. No soccer mom will touch a EV when the evening news is littered with burning Chinese EV's. If a cheap EV burns to the ground, is it bad for the environment? Just asking for a friend. |

Who would have predicted that a bunch of rental EV's were ridden hard and put a way wet?
Hertz's Used Teslas Are Glitchy, Damaged Nightmares 05/16/2024 Take Bijay Pandey of Irving, Texas. He went and purchased a 2022 Model 3 Long Range for just $25,000 for his wife earlier this year. Problems with it started not long after he purchased it. After getting a temporary title, he found the car wasn’t reading voltage correctly. Soon, a body shop found a quarter-size hole in the undercarriage he hadn’t seen before, which led to revelations of deeper issues inside. “The high-voltage battery pack is damaged and could cause extreme safety concerns,” a Tesla technician texted him. The hole in the battery pack turned out to be damage that was classified as “exterior damage,” resulting in a repair bill of over $13,000. Of course, that amount wasn’t covered by warranty. Surprisingly, Hertz told Pandey they would let him swap the car for another. The battery abuse these have received makes a purchase from Hertz a dealbreaker. My prior experience with purchase of a used rental does factor. Most rental cars don’t see much abuse, however many of these were Uber rentals, lots of fast charging, using all the range there is, the abuse is such it falls on the poor slob that buys one. I would buy a used Tesla from Tesla, that’s about it. https://jalopnik.com/even-ford-is-wa...now-1851466376 |
