    The Volt is restricted to 100mph at top speed.

    Acceleration in a Volt is greater than most 4 cylinder cars.

    Also in a minivan. And a Cadillac. 3/4 of the way in a Winnbago.
    You do realize the volt is a hybrid that uses an ICE engine, don't you? It doesn't require the batteries be charged from an outlet for the car to go 10,000 miles.

    None of us are kids. We're not going to be around forever, and the world is only going to change so much while we're still here.

    If approaching modernity in the form of such things as electric cars offends us so much, we have one logical response.

    Stop procreating. Do not subject future generations of your own seed and line to a world that you would consider unliveable.

    Far too many totally unqualified people consider themselves breeders. Here's a reason to stop.
    I have long advocated for governmental agencies to license pregnancies to appropriate breeders

    But in the realm of modern cars, Gas is best for freedom. The oligarch fascists cant stop you cold by shutting off power.

    Lots of people do where I live. Even people in California often commute much further than that. There, they often have little choice. Housing prices being what they are the only affordable one is often as much as 100 miles or more from where they work.

    I and many of my neighbors do service work, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, etc. There are pickups and service trucks all up and down the street. Not one of us could use an electric car. My last call for an emergency service entry repair was nearly 50 miles from home one-way. You need a truck, and carry upwards of half-a-ton or more of tools and parts. Electric vehicles won't work for that sort of person.
