Didn't watch the video. Sorry. I just did, and it was funny. 😁 Classic SNL humor. But scary at how close the skit came to what MB would conceivably put on the road.

Speaking for myself, I do like listening to what others have to say about their worries concerning the transportation transition from gas to electric. It gives me a wider perspective beyond my limited experience, and a greater appreciation for all the hurtles that are still in place that make...

Really depends upon the range of the EV, plus the charging speed. What's nice about the EV is you can leave it charging while you go eat (if the restaurant is within walking distance) or take a bathroom break. An EV doesn't require you remain with it while being charged. Plus you don't reek of...

No, not really. MB is a newcomer to the game. My thoughts were more Nissan and Tesla, both long time entries in the EV world (2010 and 2009) in manufacture and sales. Leaf batteries became bi-directional with the inclusion of the Level 3 direct current Chademo port, and in 2012 Nissan began...

Sorry, but that article was written a year and a half ago. Old news no longer relevant as we move into 2023 with multiple industries now snatching up older EV batteries to repurpose them.

EV drivers use Plugshare.com, or their car's navigation tools, to find charging stations, especially the Level 3 fast chargers. Her is a snapshot of the charging stations available from Atlanta to Moline. Please bear in mind that because charging stations do not have the huge presence that gas...

Only if you buy an old Chevy Bolt. 🤣 On the other hand gas engine fires are a daily occurance everywhere. Everywhere. Daily. Fact of life with toxic combustion fuels. They explode. And do so on a regular basis. We live with that happening every day to the point where we no longer think about it...

Not the case at all. This is an old scare tactic by the anti-EV crowd that has long been debunked. Old batteries are easily "recycled" by replacing worn or dead cells with new cells and are going back into cars, or grabbed by Industy to be used as solar storage batteries. In fact, used EV...

We are still in the early stages of adopting electric cars over gas powered cars. The infrastructure is moving fast to support EVs on highways and interstates and stop-and-charge facilities in public places. What hasn't been addressed as much as it should be, is the ability for people who rent...

Last night I was chilling out in my EV which was plugged into one of the free Level 2 charging stations at a local grocery store, and I was asked the ever-favorite question by the person in the car next to me - "How long does it take to charge up your car?" I've learned over time the simple...

I watched that episode. I believe he said that electric car was one of his favorites in his collection because it was so simple, quiet, easy to drive. Looked so very "antique" going down the road. Just read about this the other day. No question I'll have to get one for my R1T!!😄 Also lots of...

@Mulezen Sweet! Love those running boards. Thanks for sharing!!!

@Mulezen - Well, your comment regarding your grandfather's love for his Stanley Steamer sent me down a fascinating internet rabbit hole reading about those cars. I'm going to look up one of Jay Leno's episodes for his Steamer to see one in action.

This also played out in the centuries before when the horse provided the main power for just anything that required big energy needs. The infrastructure to supply the ongoing needs to this source of power was immense, complex, interconnected. Distribution required housing, food, supplies, manual...

An interesting read: The distance to the Moon and the length of the day 2.46 billion years ago The last sentence in this paragraph, based on what these ancient 2.46 billion year old earth records reveal, is very telling: " Short day Over time, the rotation of Earth around its axis has also...

The Grand Canyon National Park. I just thought the single independent pump/independant EV station, both with a similar looking "hose", looked like a mirror image 100 years apart. I wasn't aware that fuel pumps, like the one in the photo, had been independantly available along streets, etc and...

1920 vs 2020. Never noticed the similarity before.

Thank you for the article link. It's nice to see some positive movement planned for the future. The gas stations are already slated to follow the livery stables into history unless they adopt the new mode of fueling (watts rather than gas). I wonder how it will shake out....? Fun Fact: Most...

Or are terrified by what they don't know. It was the same 120 years ago when transportation was shifting from horses to motorized vehicles. Rather fun to read the "doom and gloom" articles in the old carriaging journals against the new horseless vehicles...until around 10 years later when those...

Sorry for assuming. Guess my comments are only applicable to the Vados sold in the US. Nevermind then. 🙃
