There are several spots on the Bee-Line Highway out of Phoenix where you can see wildfires started from ICE cars, within the last year. I saw them just a few months ago. It was either last year or year before also when a fuel tanker overturned and started yet another wildfire.

^ A car rear ending an apparently full of gas tanker is a freak occurrence, the car driver not seing a big as a bus rear end coming up fast and how on earth he pushed the tanker weighing as much as a modern battle tank or more into that situation needs investigation.

I think I have figured you out. You must be a closeted EV lover. It’s the only thing that makes sense.

What normal person sits around watching these dumb anti EV videos all day? A normal person who doesn’t care for EVs wouldn’t watch EV content and a person who likes EVs wouldn’t watch anti EV content, especially extremely low quality, unentertaining junk like this.

So the ONLY option left is someone who really wants an EV but knows owning one would go against their ideology so they must constantly watch anti EV propaganda to convince themselves they don’t want an EV.

Makes sooooo much sense now.

Have you messed with chatgpts voice stuff? It’s fucking amazing. Me and some friends were messing with it a couple days ago and we would talk to it in spanish and it would start speaking perfect spanish. We would tell it to talk with different accents and it would nail them. It was kinda scary.

If you have your own EV charger on your own driveway fine, but for the many that haven't it's a problem and can be expensive as M GUY explains.

So, Jaguar are not to sell any more gas cars (and diesels too ?) just EV's and their boss has come out with an ad also that has caused a lot of controversy. The Sydney based engineer and lawyer gives his take referring to an internal memo on the situation and quotes ''Founder Sir W.Lyons will be spinning in his grave''.

Mine was a general comment on the widespread transport of gas via tanker truck. I also don't think it matters what WizardofOz posted in regards to my post.

This is a shocking truth that no one is talking about. I decided to watch that to also find out the one cool trick to get EVs sold that they don't want you to know about that is bound to raise eyebrows.
