Also "kinda" is slang/informal for "kind of." You wrote "kinda of" meaning "kind of of". Nice.

I just thought the torque number was the largest I have ever seen in a vehicle. I am sure no one else has.

While you’re giving the finger to the oil companies, you may want to think of society’s true dependence on oil products...

Over and above transportation direct fuels, here is a short list of products produced from/by hydrocarbons - Insecticides, Ink, Floor Wax, Pens, Upholstery, Clothing, Boats, Sports Car Bodies, Nail Polish, Fishing Lures, Bags, Perfumes, Cassettes, Dishwasher Parts, Tool Boxes, Shoe Polish, Helmets, Caulking, Petroleum Jelly, Tape, Washers, Antiseptics, Curtains, Food Preservatives, Basketballs, Soap, Antihistamines, Purses, Dashboards, Cortisone, Deodorant, Footballs, Putty, Dyes, Panty Hose, Refrigerant, Percolators, Life Jackets, Rubbing Alcohol, Linings, Skis, TV Cabinets, Shag Rugs, Electrician's Tape, Tool Racks, Car Battery Cases, Epoxy, Paint, Mops, Slacks, Insect Repellent, Oil Filters, Umbrellas, Yarn, Fertilizers, Hair Coloring, Roofing, Toilet Seats, Fishing Rods, Lipstick, Denture Adhesive, Linoleum, Speakers, Plastic Wood, Electric Blankets, Glycerin, Tennis Rackets, Rubber Cement, Dice, Nylon Rope, Candles, Trash Bags, Paint, Water Pipes, Hand Lotion, Roller Skates, Surfboards, Shampoo, Wheels, Paint Rollers, Shower Curtains, Guitar Strings, Luggage, Safety Glasses, Antifreeze, Awnings, Eyeglasses, Toothbrushes, Ice Chests, Combs, CD's & DVD's, Brushes, Detergents, Vaporizers, Balloons, SunGlasses, Tents, Heart Valves, Crayons, Parachutes, Telephones, Enamel, Pillows, Dishes, Cameras, Anesthetics, Artificial Turf, Artificial Limbs, Bandages, Dentures, Model Cars, Folding Doors, Hair Curlers, Cold Cream, Movie Film, Soft Contact Lenses, Drinking Cups, Fan Belts, Car Enamel, Shaving Cream, Ammonia, Refrigerators, Golf Balls, Toothpaste, and of course Solvents, Motor Oil, Bearing Grease ….

True these cars run on electricity charged batteries, but they couldn’t possibly be made without oil. Also of note, when you charge said electric vehicle, bear in mind the electricity you’re charging with likely in some location down the grid, comes from a coal burning power plant. No offence intended, I just think most don’t look at the whole picture here. Technology is certainly moving us in the right direction, but we have a long way to go.

What does "a lot" mean and in what states? There is no federal statute or other requirement about backup generators. What law are you referring to in your post with respect to evacuation routes and generators? You seem to be so knowledgeable; show me the law.

Only a handful of states have such requirements. Around here (i.e. the entirety of CA) the gas stations are out when power is out. FL, a state prone to hurricanes, has only 200 in the entire state with mandated generators under Florida law. So, do you have a citation or proof of your claim from any source? Or are you just being smug and largely incorrect?

Bottom line, the animus toward electric vehicles amongst car owners is juvenile, ignorant, and just plain stupid.

Meaning, "Until you run out of gas because pumps dont run when there is no electricity!".... if you have an electric car. You won't run out of gas. DA

When I went through a Hurricane in Louisiana. There was not any electricity for 4 months. We got gas straight from the semi tanker no problem.

What's with all of the hostility when the OP just showed a new vehicle ad.

It's a GM product. After a year, it'll have so many electrical issues, it will be undrivable.

The "until you run out of gas because pumps dont run when there is no electricity" is directed at and he even directly quoted the guy in the second post ... keep up bud.

I live out in the Country...my own tank and hand crank...all the farmers or in my area have diesel and unleaded tanks, most of us have our gas of choice...above or below ground!lol
You can keep it good for up to 3 years if needed.
