I know we need to be more causious on our earth, but think there are better options to do that besides the lobby on "we all need to drive electric". So I wont in the coming years... ;-) VonSkip 24/7Autoholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16196619279366807912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-537338911176706652.post-46937727712964348442021-02-27T19:27:41.084+01:002021-02-27T19:27:41.084+01:00The idea of electric powered vehicles is not new, ...The idea of electric powered vehicles is not new, it's been tried before in the past. The problem is, the "unintended consequences" of having "electric" everything. As I have mentioned in another blog regarding this issue, while it may be "environmentally friendly" it is anything but practical. <br /><br />Let us take this example of "unintended consequences". There is a village of a hundred thousand people living in it. Out of all those people 35 to 42,000 drive electric vehicles. It's a hot Summers day and the village has the A/C going full tilt. Evening comes and the dad or mom or both come home from work. Their car needs charging, along with the other 20,000 or so vehicles in the village.<br /><br />So they all plug in, say between five and six p.m. Home A/C are still going, mom turns on the electric range to start diner. Then suddenly everything goes dead. Why? Simply too much draw on the power grid. Everything shuts down. And it just gets worse from there. <br /><br />Okay. Done preaching now. But do you folks get the picture? jsfuryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05376420982509061892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-537338911176706652.post-52611940215043285722021-02-27T10:22:36.820+01:002021-02-27T10:22:36.820+01:00Thanks for your reply Hans!

Seen from that environmental issues that would be indeed a good way to keep the option on driving our stuff. <br />I would come along if there weren't any other options. But as long as there is, give me the roaring sounds and feeling please ;-) VonSkip 24/7Autoholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16196619279366807912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-537338911176706652.post-49945438616951348792021-02-27T10:19:54.429+01:002021-02-27T10:19:54.429+01:00Agree on that one again too JSF 😉Agree on that one again too JSF 😉VonSkip 24/7Autoholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16196619279366807912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-537338911176706652.post-72120025935187705172021-02-25T18:58:09.869+01:002021-02-25T18:58:09.869+01:00Umm, it's electric.

Guess I'm just too old school to go gah gah over this type of thing. I'm not saying that there's not a market for it.
