I had to laugh yesterday when there was a full program about electric cars IN DETAIL ... what you are NOT told................ yet.

5 year battery and battery component life for example and even the best is only guaranteed 7 years.

So as long as you don't plan to SELL it used ever, or are willing to take $50 for it after 5 years fine

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.

NO they are NOT, facts please

It is so BLIND and disabled people can hear them, being Autistic I am well aware of this and have seen many incorrect statements people are reacting to.

If you were BLIND you and a guide dog rely on hearing, and in case anyone posts silly comments about beeping etc........................ think

We are not all 100% perfect vision or able bodied

Post full/accurate quotes.

"The law has been welcomed by campaigners. James White, at the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association, is worried about the risk the cars pose to people with sight loss. He said that for people who struggle to see them, the vehicles should indicate their presence in other ways."
