I saw a golf cart that almost flew past at a record 110mph on a drag strip. It was battery powered. I still think that talking about how much horsepower a muscle car can put out is more interesting than how many amps you can get in your battery car. Just my opinion. I have no problem with burning fossil fuel until it's gone. The air today is cleaner than the air in the '50's in the main cities. I lived in one country where many converted their vehicles to burn natural gas. The modification to the cars cost about $300 for the kit. And they had filling stations around the city to fill up the tanks they kept in the trunk. Just a consideration if folks are wanting cleaner air.

In 1950 the population of the US was 150 million people. That is why the air was good compared to today. And the world's population has about doubled, or more, since 1950. If the population had stayed the same, then there would be no Global Warming or excess pollution to cause Global Warming. Some brilliant old time philosopher said that wars and pestilence keep population controlled. We have had our share of disease lately and Russia is trying its best to start an expanding war. And without Ukrainian wheat, many in Africa will die.
If someone could wave a magic wand and world population not increase or decrease, then we would NOT need EVs as badly as we do. And its just barbaric and neanderthal-like that we are NOT using electric riding lawnmowers. Where is the Elon Musk of electric lawn equipment????????
