I for one can’t wait to get creamed by 7000lb lifted EV trucks.

I hate to break this to you, but EVs are wholly dependend on minerals from Congo, China, Russia—your money IS still going to bad actors. At least with Petroleum a goodly portion of that money goes to domestic companies, supply, infrastructure, jobs...

Slower? The fastest cars in the world are hybrid ICE vehicles. 

I don’t trust it to make it to the ski hill though. Roughly 100 miles round trip. 

I have some really bad news, your EV has petroleum products in it. Not to mention tons and tons of things most everyone uses in everyday life. Where do you get your electricity from to charge your car? Where did the lithium for the batteries come from? 

I think if you ask a lot of people they wouldn’t list eco friendliness of EVs as being a top reason for purchasing EVs. I’ve owned EVs for 7 years and it isn’t even my top 2 reasons.

You think the only way Russia and the Saudi’s see money from oil is through what you buy at the pump?

While the only 2 choices are Electrify America or give more money to the planet’s biggest douchebag, I’ll stick with my ICE. Add to that the cold weather issues. Good article also.

Drove our Leaf this morning at minus 6. Fully charged it had 100 miles less range than it does in the summer. Kudos to you for wanting to go all electric but we are not there yet.

EVs are cool and neat and great, etc, etc, etc, but constantly-connected consumer electronics put unprecedented control over your property in the hands of the company that sold it to you (or, as they’ll likely claim, licenced to you).

I refuse to be a luddite, but I also just hate to see internal combustion thrown out. Anyone who claims that EVs are more eco-friendly than a modern ICE is fooling themselves.

The lack of infrastructure plus the effect of cold weather on EVs are major detractors. Motor Trend just posted something about their experiences which confirms a lot of what my friends with EV have said:

Yet ANOTHER misleading Jalopnik headline. If you’re not careful, people will get the impression Jay Leno is funny.

If he is not on TV is he still truly alive?

Don’t tell me what to do.  You’re not even my real dad. 

I hear Jay is broken up about this

I agree. It reignited my passion for cars

Good god… Don’t use “fire” as an adjective. Plus, Leno is annoying.

Too bad. That show was fire.

Ohhh, for more shark tank? Thank God. How will society move forward without more fucking shark tank?
