TRANSLATION FROM HEARING IMPAIRED INTERPRETER: "Well, it is five minutes after five, which means it is time for a drink. I'll get tight, touch some girl's breasts, and maybe stroke her hair, but her father might yell at me and cut my hand off. Anyway, I don't have any idea who this Build Back Better company Proterra is."

Nope, the Bimbo of Energy SCORED!!!

Granholm eventually closed her position in the firm late in May 2021, and netted capital gains amounting to about $1.6 million.

charging centers are not the problem. A problem sure, but down a ways on the list. Who wants to sit there like a sitting duck for two hours or more?

City bus operation is a tough duty cycle, and maintenance is typically done by unionized city employees who DGAS about things.

The best way to improve the charging experience is for the government to get out of the way. Any entrepreneur thinking about setting up a charger probably fears the next Volkswagen settlement resulting in a new EA charger a mile away and free for all new EV owners for a year or two.

For what it's worth, I've never had to wait for a charger. But I live in Alabama and, thus, any road trip near enough to not fly (meaning road trips in the southeast) are in areas where most EV owners live in homes (charge at home). Thus, most people at road-side chargers within 600 or so miles of where I live are just the people on a trip (not people charging for local driving). We simply don't have a lot of apartment renters using up road-side chargers for local driving.

Instead of exposing and chastising Biden the media will cover it up. They need to be stripped of all media reporting responsibility. Just like they just did to White House journalists. Worthless propagandists.

Yeah my take on evs is if you use them like a golf cart, and charge at home, they will work just fine. When these rigs depreciate enough in the next couple years, I’ll grab one with weak battery and just use it as a local runabout, keeping the gas car for trips and such.

That’s one aspect I haven’t polled people on.

So far the only people to admit, seem to be people living
in homes with chargers though. I will admit that may be
the case because others don’t want to admit to strangers
they are renters. Who knows.

EVs are maybe good for short range within city limits.

Terry McCauliffe from VA did the same thing in MS. There will be more.

A regular diesel bus would cost around $250k. An electric bus at least $500k.

And be 1/2 as productive and 1/4 the range.

It’s a real head scratcher alright.
