Energy use is higher at highway speeds due to the force necessary to move the air out of the way of the vehicle. The faster you drive the less efficient your energy use becomes - regardless of if you are using ICE or EV. Limit all vehicles to 45 MPH and you would instantly reduce energy use by more than a third.

So, all you have to do to fix this problem is buy a new Hyundai.

Counter-point:

Not every white woman using a cell phone is named Karen. And even a “Karen” is not responsible for how another person uses their weapon - especially those that have been trained how to use them.

Yup - came here to comment the same thing: This appears to be mostly inaccurate. Oregon and Washington ones are just flat-out wrong with Kroger (via Fred Meyer) dominating both states.

Canada doesn’t count. They can’t even spell “harbor” right.

My understanding is the things holding back hydrogen is how it is generated (overwhelmingly from fossil fuels), transporting it (typically done through ammonia), and availability. Efficiency (FWIW: that is not the ideal word in this context since hydrogen fuel cells have always been far more “efficient” than the…

“... Capitalism is King in the US, except for cars ...”

They can always delay implementation if the tech doesn’t get there in time. Nothing wrong with setting the goal post and seeing if we can meet it because, if we are being honest, we won’t meet it without someone setting the goal post.

I’ll be starting my bottle water company soon up here in Alaska, how does “Alaska Glaciers Natural Bottle Water” sound to you?

I’m going to focus, for a brief moment, on the good news that we can make a positive change (environmentally) to driving habits in the United States with something as simple as charging more for dino juice.

Auto insurance, over the past 35 years, has raised, on average, 5% annually.

Can they recall tires on the moon?

Not according to Texas.

Extreme heat or cold are notorious for destroying Leaf battery life - mostly due to lack of climate controls but also because the quality is suspect. Yes, our ‘14 Leaf is 8 years old with 80% of the battery charge remaining from a relaxed life in Seattle but, honestly, I would have expected losing no more than 10%…

This situation has no connection to whether America is ready for EVs. Texas has an electrical compensation system that rewards supply constraints. In fact, EVs could help Texans through these times since they could (theoretically) be used to power a home during blackouts. Unfortunately, one automaker (Tesla) is not…

Tax returns ignores the richest individuals that have little or no taxable income. Yes, they still file and may have capital gains and other items to report, but the tax system in the United States is focused on income tax from an employer and not actual net worth. (Unfortunately.)

You are aware that they are not equivalent, right? First, this technology still requires a human on alert at all times - so one has only a human and the other has human + technology. More critically, Tesla’s tech controls the parts of the drive that you are least likely to be in an accident whereas humans must control…

I would definitely buy one (assuming it is a real coupe) even if they moved it into EV territory. However, I’m not certain how many Prelude fans are left out there - the sales numbers were pretty bad in 2001. Honda would probably be better off bringing back the Fit to America.

FWIW: Final model year of the Prelude was 2001.
