the reality is EVs will be a luxury for most

most people will be forced onto public transportation

The Peel P50 comes to mind.

Good for him. I want him in JAIL next week.

I have a thumping 2019 Royal Enfield Bullet 500 which gets 98 mpg with its massive, long-stroke one cylinder. Given enough time, it can hit 70 mph, but it will be shaking like an old washing machine.

We had this with the VW Diesel and they didn’t like it.

[Red Badger]

Of course they didn’t.

It caused too much freedom.................

My Jeep already identifies as a 100 mph vehicle. Science and gas pumps say otherwise, but my Jeep is mileage fluid and who am I too judge?

I like the style of the Royal Enfield bikes. Very similar to the old British bikes. I had a BSA Victor 500MX before I got married. A great off-road bike. I turn 67 this month, so I'm gravitating to lighter bikes. My big Harleys are a bit heavy. If I was shopping today, a KLX 300SM would be an ideal fit. Electric start. Supermoto wheels/tire/suspension. My wife has a 2007 Piaggio BV500. She is buying a Piaggio 530HPE MP2. Slightly larger engine and a 3 point contact.

The 98 MPG is impressive. My freeway capable bikes take premium fuel. The rest run on regular, but don't have the performance reserve to live safely on the 80 MPH I-15 freeway. The Honda CTX700 runs on regular and delivers 61 MPG. It's not a good 80 MPH machine. The Kawasaki Versys (650) runs on premium with top speed of 128 MPH and delivers 53 MPG using premium gas. Similar displacement with significant performance difference.

They will have to repeal the Laws of Thermodynamics.................

No problem. Biden thinks he is above the law. It won't turn out well.

As a DoD contractor, I've been "dependent" on the government for some time. It goes both ways. I build stuff they need. I'll hit 32 years with my current employer in December. Contemplating retirement as I turn 67 this month. The burning question is whether the government becomes insolvent before I retire voluntarily. Either way, the days of building stuff for them will be wrapping up soon.

[JimRed]

Weren’t gasoline cars to be banned by then?

[Red Badger]

Only for the peons...............

That's not what I mean, and I think you know that.

You work, they pay you, you do what you want with your paycheck. That includes buying a car ... which (a different) they want to deny you the ability to do. They want you to depend on Government Almighty for everything, including transportation.

[T.B. Yoits]

Make no mistake, they intend to drive by in chauffeur-driven armored SUVs past slaves in sandals.

This is the same Jao Bai-din driving around in a vintage Corvette (with a trunk full of classified documents).

Yea, Yea, Yea, and people in HELL want Ice Cream Cones too.

The Royal Enfield Bullit 500 was the fastest motorcycle in production when it was introduced in 1933. Some changes were made since, like fuel injection, disc brakes, and minor frame adjustments, but when they ceased making them in 2019 it was then probably the slowest motorcycle in general production at 28 hp. It just handles so gracefully and is a joy to ride with a 19’ front wheel. Mine is Battle Green with kaki panniers, and even old ladies — girls my age — roll down their windows to say what a beautiful bike it is.

[SecondAmendment]

Replace EV's with gas generator-electric drive trains WITHOUT batteries.

Unlimited mileage, instant power, high torque, all wheel drive.

They have been doing this for years with diesel-electric trains.

This will also simplify managing assembly lines and supply chains for manufacturers who still need to make EV models until they are phased out.

[I want the USA back]

The ruling elite will not be affected by this. kerry will still have his limousines. biden will still have his heavy armoured cars. The ruling elite will do as they wish while the ordinary folks will work till they drop and pay all they have to remain alive.
