I agree and would be banned for life if I wrote how I really feel about this issue.

I'm sure I would be banned for life too, if I were to speak my mind.

I live in a condo and do have a garage but no where to plug it in. And live in a state that has one of the highest electric rates in the country.

Don't like them at all. They are silly looking and have no style. I'll keep what I have forever if necessary.

If you're stuck in traffic, your wheels aren't going around, but the motor, AC or heater is still using power.

I love gadges and I would buy one when:

1. There are ample charging stations with quick charges

2. Price that I can easily afford

3. Safe from blowing up or catching on fire

4. Can go miles and miles without a charge. 200- 300 miles minimum

Obviously in my lifetime I will not be getting one. LOL

And I did have a friend where his car did catch on fire. He was safe but his house took quite a hit.

I also don't want an electric car but I live in California and by 2035 I won't be able to purchase a gas powered car. I have thirteen years to figure out a solution to this problem

@lgfan I agree.. I am in CA also. I will be 81 in 13 years so hopefully whatever gas car I have at that point will last till I quit driving.

Generac company could be looking at a wonderful future. Power goes out, Generac to the rescue.

I love my Generac, we had a large portable one, but it was just too big to lug outdoor's, especially in the winter. Earlier this year we decided to have a Generac stand by installed.

@bonnielu how horrible about the car catching on fire!! Glad he was ok..

If you live in California can you buy a car in another state and then drive it after the electric car mandate is rule of law????

@lgfan

I would just buy a car in another state.

Single guy with two Teslas if you can believe that one. Bragged all the time about his cars. I felt sorry for him because the cars were essentially HIS FAMILY. This was a way back and it made him feel special to own these. As of now I really have not heard from him. No idea what happened over time.
