I guess with death and taxes, and now asinine legislation is also a fact of life.
What ever happened to the concept of "watch where you are going" ??
Laws that would fine the idiots, who step into traffic with their noses glued to their smartphones and headphones blaring, in a manner similar to jaywalking, might also be useful.
Instead they make slow moving EV's go beep-beep
P.S.
Some EV facts, not opinions below....
My EV (Tesla) has a range of 560km....the long range model 620km
It actually has the best primary and secondary safety rating for any vehicle crash tested by the NTSB.
There is also a first-responder cut point (clearly marked under the bonnet) to disable the battery
Any car that is burning gives off toxins.
A fuel-air mix is far more flammable than a caged lithium cell.
