I don’t get the desire for electric cars. I remember California with rolling blackouts due to people using to much electricity. Add billions and electric usage will skyrocket to where people end up with a few hours of electricity a day...maybe
See post #39 nap. It is not just the quiet, smooth and torque. Making an engine/drivetrain EPA compliant and all the ancillary side effects of said powertrain in it’s confines and everywhere else it effects a vehicle is daunting. So complex it has become one of my auto gnomes noted as he looked @ a prototype he was working on and said oh frig it, why not just stick and entire e-drive train in it ( I am not kidding )....
Probably control. What’s easier to keep from the people, the supply of liquid fuel or the supply of electricity?
