And we all know giant 18-wheelers are the only way to deliver goods.  Get lost.

Maybe. Maybe not - they’re the ones in a steel cage surrounded by airbags.  And are much likelier to have caused the crash in the first place.

My guess? NADA. USDMs.

Right! We’re allowed/encouraged/forced to ride a bicycle in the street next to 18-wheelers. But Kei’s are the problem!

In places like Boston and Cambridge or Salem or Worcester, these mini trucks make MUCH more sense than the giant 18-wheelers seen plying the streets to deliver small loads. The streets tend to be narrow, with slow speeds, and lots of pedestrians and bicycle riders.

Sign posts, light poles, and other street-side infrastructure if often built to break-away if hit by a crashing car, often allowing the car to keep traveling as this one did. If they were more solidly embedded, the crashing car would stop, protecting those in the path.

It’s your employer, you call them. And the electricity shouldn’t be free, you should pay for that just like you do gas.

Have you ever met Joe Manchin? Or Kyrsten Sinema?

Congress never did it.

All of your points are valid, to a point. A president can only sign what Congress passes. The fact that we get shit for laws is because we have a shitty congress. Look at the ACA: it was watered down and riddled with holes all because of the dealmaking that went on between conservative democrats and more liberal…

You shouldn’t need an extension cord.  Your employer, which provides off street parking, should install chargers.

Telling poor people to suffer the consequences of global warming caused by unfettered and unaccountable capitalism is elitism.

Very few people are as busy as you think they are.

The point is that there are millions of plugs everywhere.  They just need a little extension to where cars are parked. And cars are parked, like, 95% of the time.

3.5 years ago I picked up a Polestar 2 instead of a bar of soap (Model 3). It was a great car.

Yes, it’s pretty high. But in pretty high income/expense places like where I am (MA) it’s not that high.

““They are so filled with rage that they have lost all sense of human decency and respect,” Mr. Zhang, 30, said of the critics he has encountered.”

Rick is right.

The Federal EV credits ARE income based.  I know because I do not qualify as I make too much.

EVs are also taking a bigger hit because their MSRPs are inflated. For example, A BMW iX is not a $90-120k car. It’s a $70-90k car, at best. That’s reflected in the leases prices where the market has settled.
