Nah, the EV mandates will kick in, you won’t be able to get replacement parts for your older gas vehicle, and eventually, the old cars will be outlawed. At some point in the not so distant future, you’ll be forced to buy electric, whether you want it or not.
I once tried to replace the battery in a Kindle Fire tablet. I was a bit too cavalier with the battery removal which tore the cover of the battery and it burst into flames. I ran outside and dropped it and let it burn itself out. It was one of those soft bag-type batteries. They cannot be punctured or exposed to air, or they go up in flames.
But you may not be able to afford one. 🔌🔥🚓
“The people in charge of this fiasco will all be promoted.”
Or join the Biden administration.
How is this worse than the people who already were incinerated by their Teslas, or drowned because the Tesla’s door locks aren’t waterproof?
So, to summarize:
1) Don’t park this puppy within 100’ of your place, or next to the Mercedes in the driveway
2) Have a long extension cord to charge it each night………be careful if it’s raining or snowing
3) Don’t charge it above 90%
4) Don’t run it below 70 miles left on the charge
- The Bolt has a range of 260 miles at best so you basically have been reduced now to a max of 150-175 miles drive mileage, most likely much lower
- Basically, you cannot let it run below 30% charge, or charge it more than 90 %
- The charge range is 30-90%, or 60% x 260 miles = 156 miles
5) No idea when they can obtain replacement batteries
6) $2B to replace all batteries
7) By 2035, all new cars and passenger trucks sold in California to be zero-emission vehicles......right
“I do wonder how the EV’s meet residential fire code.”
I foresee some new questions on homeowners policies:
Do you own any pitbulls?
Do you own any electric vehicles? If so, are they kept under HPR approved sprinklers or parked outside?
Do you have a fireplug within 20 feet of your garage?
Are you a Democrat or otherwise mentally impaired?
Even if it’s made out of rocks and wood, it ain’t ZERO carbon emissions.

I wouldn’t drive on of those things anywhere. Park next to somewhere and get sued when it blows up?
EV owners know this in the back of their heads. Try to find an EV driver who doesn’t also own a non-EV vehicle.
GM has recommended that Bolt owners park their vehicles outside...

...away from the house, lawn, trees, and any other combustable material.
Well, there's that, too.
Can they convert by adding a combustible engine?
GM will recover from this. All they have to do is offer free COVID shits with every purchase.
For garbage pick up?
“All they have to do is offer free COVID shits with every purchase.”
Wow, I heard there were side effects to the jab, but I never heard about that one...
Sounds like a GM problem not a Tesla problem. GM is from the Electric car standard.
If they ban gasoline vehicles (which they have shown very indication that they would like to do) it won’t really matter if EV shoppers are “scared” since it will be that or nothing (as far as new vehicles go - obviously used vehicles will be around for a long time).
Exploding golf carts.
Until they’re outlawed. Could be harder to find a gas pump than a charging station. 😂🔌
Americans do NOT want the Chevy Dolt, or any other electric car!!!!
Solar, wind, and batteries cannot power a 21st century civilization! (Look at California!) Back to the drawing board!!!!
