You should make a separate thread with this question, since you are changing the subject.


Every bit of that was in reference to electric cars.
What is the subject again?

Imagine being stranded for up to 24 hours on the interstate in an icy traffic jam like Virginia just experienced. But everyone has electric cars. With gas cars, good samaritans can rescue drivers by bringing cans of gas to the needy to refuel and keep warm. But with EVs, if they run out of power, thats it. Theres no portable power coming. So you freeze or run. Plus, EVs might not hold their charge as well in cold weather, so you have even less time.

Imagine being a car that was low on gas, and had to heat itself when it ran out of gas while stuck for xxxx hours.

So what you are saying is, everyone with an EV will *magically* have a full battery when stuck in the snow for 2 days.


It's entirely reasonable to think that EV owners charge their cars whenever able, so their charge levels will tend to be high.

What about people who drive their tanks down to E getting stuck on snowed in roads?

You're right. I should start a snow/ice capable EV charging business.

Thanks for the tip.

Oh shit wait you thought this was a problem incapable of fixing cause you're a moron.

I have never seen a political party more diametrically opposed to facts than the Democrats.

"Russia totally stole the 2016 election!"

"The terrorists Obama decided to support in Syria are moderate rebels!"

"Ivermectin doesn't work! It's HORSE DEWORMER!"

All proven false. If I tried to create a complete list of all their lies, 500 pages wouldn't even be enough.


Ivermectin isn't used on horses or other mammals for deworming?

Where did you learn this?

Imagine the popularity of this service whenever these high capacity pickups are rolling all over the streets. F150s and Silverados gonna be a game changer.
