Title: The Whole World is Nuts
Post by: luvrbus on December 21, 2022, 06:38:18 PM
Here we are trying to ban fossil fuel cars, I read where Switzerland is banning the sale of EV's what a crazy world today we live in, the Swiss are banning the EV's sales to prevent blackouts you wonder if it crossed our politician's mind like it has some Americans?

Then there's California. They were pushing and encouraging people to buy electric cars because of the pollution. So now they are discouraging people from driving their electric cars because the grid can't handle people recharging these things.
Voting for stupid people for many many years has consequences.

It makes me wonder why the # 1 selling manufacture Toyota has not jumped in to the EV market,they have the Hybrids  I know, but taking a wait and see position on the EV market

Most of the time, TOYOTA gets things right the first time by making sure their products aren't going to PO people via bad quality. Either that or they don't see it viable with the current technology.

Clifford,

In addition to being Bus Nuts, I would prefer to be a Pecan Nut as they are my favorite. 
Pecans grow best in warm climates, not up here in the Frozen North where I currently live!

No problem. Planters sells them lightly salted in a can at Walmart. Also unsalted there too, just not Planters.

John,

I used to travel to Albany, GA a couple times a year.  I always had to stop here on the way(both ways).
Clifford's post reminded me that I haven't been there in a few years.

It seems this new American Dream of EVs has one problem, you need to be asleep to believe it. :-\
