Make sure to seal it with candle wax for that extra deep heating

re: Chevy Volt - I remember looking at one when it came out and yeah, just wow no trunk space

I’m not sure I follow you...EVs are almost to a one faster than any equivalent ICE. Tesla’s beat literal super cars years ago.

Exactly. Dealerships are “in spite of” not “because of”.

I had my convertible in the mid 90s before cell phones, so there wasn’t the accoutrements of accessories to worry about being stolen. But it was also good incentive to not keep crap in the car.

Don’t believe I said my bills literally went down, apologies if I implied that. But you will see a reduction in electric usage due to these bulbs.

ten year break even on a $7500 system is a reduction of ~$60 per month. That’s a *significant* bill reduction for anyone.

The pricing diff is negligible at this point.

Yes I’m sure.

Some things use more power but refrigerator and AC units are significantly more efficient than a decade or 2 ago and those are significant savings.

The problem is the ‘middle’ ground is much farther than we are. We’re just seeing the tip of the climate disaster coming, it’s going to get much much worse.

We *have* to get off fossil fuels, basically yesterday.

The problem is trying to do an ‘in place’ substitution. Individual long haul trucks are always going to be wildly inefficient.

They don’t give a damn about the potential economic consequences.

And the EV credits aren’t even that restrictive.  Anyone can avail themselves of the credits, just do the work here.

mine are on a carabiner on a belt loop. Especially with multiple bulky keyfobs, pockets just don’t work anymore!

Vast majority of people will have cars plugged in at home. Range anxiety works in favor of this.

And John Cougar Mellencamp has the ad jingle for it
