However, the battery is from 2014, seems to be losing it's charge ability,,, we used to get 25 miles on full EV.....but, after many years, a full charge is down to about 16 miles. Even tho it costs about 63 cents to go 16 miles..... still not bad.. Averaging 48 mpg.

However..... we will never get to that number with C19 or vaxxes. We need something more. Poison the food supply, water, whatever. We need to kill off about 3-4B people by selection..... abortion should be at the top of the list.
So you are pro choice from a population control point of view. Interesting.

btw, I laugh at your implication that vaccines somehow increase death rates. If vaccines weren’t developed as quickly as they were, we would have been a lot closer to your ideal world population.

One of the scarier things we are finding out about this virus is that a fair number of survivors carry lasting injuries, including to the CNS.

There might be third party aftermarket replacement battery pacs available for it with better batteries, plug in hybrids are best and many people can just use the battery most times with newer hybrids. I would expect a lot of companies will start offering them for older vehicles. Some of the newer battery chemistries promise thousands of recharge cycles, up from the hundreds of that or even recent years. When that happens, the car might wear out before the battery does and it might be used in multiple vehicles if standardized. Also, cheap mass-produced batteries will mean more battery banks in homes for backup power and faster charging of EVs, they also can reduce peak demand, store alternative energy and help balance the grid's capacity.

If ya think about it, in 20 years some farms could be electrically powered with tractors and battery banks in the barn all powered by a wind turbine and the grid when the wind doesn't blow, extra is sold to the utility, maybe for a profit. The farmer's half ton could have a thousand-mile range and be charged fairly fast from home with such a system. Talk about independence, no fuel costs, energy self-sufficient.

Part of that statement was sarcasm... although our food supply is shit, and in some parts so is the water. I've been to Canada a couple of times on vacation, and could eat just about anything and not have gut problems. I get back here, and it feels like I swallowed a rock.... same with Europe. Never had any problems eating over there. Im pretty sure some of our food products are banned in other Countries.

That would be awesome if we could replace the battery pack at a decent price. For now, we're just gonna keep driving it. We have no plans to trade or buy anything else with todays inflated car market. The last 2 years of the chip shortage really changed the dynamics of how Dealerships operate. No big parking lots full of inventory, MSRP is the norm, skeleton crews just placing orders on a computer, etc. I got word yesterday that the guy who replaced me got let go (Pre-owned Manager) because things are so slow. They got 10 vehicles busting bugs for the month of Oct, where before all of this, we would have 25 out by this time of the month. IF things pick up, I may go get my old job back since I shut down the Grow Op. ... but then again, staring out the window in that glass box is waste of time on a nice day.
EDIT: "Month of November".... when you don't work, you lose all track of time.

It might be good business for some locally, order them cheap online and install them, or even upgrading older EVs, the manufacturer should provide a warranty and I can see franchises covering many models.

It will take a long time to cleanse the base of stupid after Trump is gone, but until they do, you are stuck with them.

oh, i love it when Beau is sarcastic....
Never happen, if he tried it a couple of moderates would bolt (Mitch would make sure) and Nancy would beat him as speaker with a republican majority, it would be too humiliating. Besides, he's going to prison soon and will be involved in a trial that won't last very long and will put him away for life.
