[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I bought a diesel vehicle, so the mileage is better than regular gas.

I often drive through the high desert, where I live for a good part of the year. Temperatures are routinely in the 110s in the summer, and electric vehicles out there catch on fire at a much higher rate. It isn't practical for me. It might be, when that technology improves.

I don’t know if it’s the same clown poster making bs arguments against electric cars posing as an expert, but this is simply not true.

Your Wikipedia article is both flagged as needing updating and, as far as I can tell, focuses on risk with overcharging and/or impact. I do not see discussion of extreme heat conditions, and yes, we "clowns" are experiencing that on the reservations (and by the way, over 30% of the home s on the reservation don't have electricity -- the closest charging stations are 45+ minutes away).

Please cite a useful reference.[/quote]
