Try running your car all night in sub freezing weather. If you. ever get stuck in a wizard where your battery will die quickly if you are screwed. Whereas a gasoline engine can be started ran, and shut down from time to time. Your battery hybrid in the meantime will be toast. As this past winter proved so true when a few major snow storms shut down traffic and stranded people, those with combustible engine did fine as long as they had gas, the ones with battery and or hybrid were screwed.
Plus, you will never ever be able to have a battery operated vehicle to do what heavy equipment does. Electricity cannot generate. enough power to do the jobs machinery with. combustable engines can do.
Take your future and take a hike. The more people drive those death traps, the more expensive they will become, because the same people pushing you to get. in them, are shutting down all conceivable ways to properly get electricity generated for them.
How fast is it when it is plugged in?
In a cross country race my 2001 Camry would blow the doors of a pure EV. Every time the EV stopped to charge my Camry would put 60 miles on it. Day 2 my car would be 500 miles ahead of the EV.
Sweet Olds! 👍
Looks nice. I bet it sounds like a microwave oven tooling down the road.
“older cars have a character that EV’s never will. You just can’t compare the two.”
Good to hear. Looking forward to driving my recent 356C Porsche purchases. (One of each body style).
