    Actually, you don't know history. ICE vehicles were adopted willingly because they were way better than horses. Cheaper to maintain, could do more, and worked. People flocked to ICE vehicles and the horse was relegated to recreational use.

    I don't know. Why do petroleum companies who make TONS of money off you get massive subsidies from the government?
    Another lie you believe. Energy companies don't make tons of money off government subsidies. That's a bullshit lie propagated by the Greentard Left without basis.

    Where on earth do you get this stuff? I charge my Chevy Bolt overnight from very very low to full charge.

    Seriously why is this such a weird concept to you people? Do you never sleep and would never have a way to charge you car???????

    I wonder why the world's economists say it is true and give actual numbers for it. Perhaps they haven't taken the time to confer with YOU.

    Chevy Bolt


    Are Chevy bolts reliable?

    We expect the 2023 Bolt will be much less reliable than the average new car. This prediction is based on data from 2020 and 2021 models.

    So far so good. It's been a while since I bought American. The last GM I had was a Saturn. It did pretty well. So far the Bolt is good.

    Maybe, maybe not. I have a coworker who took their Tesla on a cross-country road trip.

    Like I said earlier: EV's are not yet perfect. But they are good for what I do most of the time. The last time I took anything even REMOTELY like a 2000 mile roadtrip was about 18 years ago when I moved from Georgia to California. So 2000 mile roadtrips are not something I normally worry about.

    Are you paying for your use of the highways and bridges or are you just sucking off your neighbors?

    That is part of the higher rate I pay for registration of my vehicle as I understand it.

    So, the answer is "yes, I pay my part". (Believe it or not that was actually something I was feeling guilty about until I realized I'm paying more for my registration and that is to recoup lost gas taxes).

    a 100.00 a year fee per year is not paying your fair share,,u are not paying your fair share for roads etc

    Gas tax per gallon in Ca is .54 cents a gallon

    You are incorrect. You don't know the numbers.
