Ok, let me start by admitting that we have a 2015 Chevrolet Volt (The gateway drug to full electric vehicles). My commuter (1995 GMC K1500 4x4) was killing me monthly in gas….back in 2017 when we bought the lease return. Doing simple bushokie math with the amount of miles driving since 2017, has paid for the car by the amount of gas my truck would have burned. With that out of the way, call me a hypocrite.

The Volt has served my needs well, I don’t have “range anxiety” like I would if it was only electric. Someday we might end up with a full electric but who knows. I do find it funny when EV owners do not realize that one EV has done more damage to the environment (mining, transportation, battery manufacturing, etc, including Li battery disposal) than my 95 GMC with 350K miles has done in its lifetime. All of these EV’s are transported by diesel trucks, ships and trains. So “HOW” are EVs going to save the environment?!?!?!?.

Let’s not even breach the idea of what better way for a government to stop movement by shutting down the inadequate electrical grid we have in play currently. There was a good video on what the loggers are being faced with by running the electric logging trucks in Canada and the amount of power required to charge them and their poor electric grid.

Just sayin,
Cheers
