On a side note I was wondering why people purchase EV’s? What is their reason? Cost of fuel? Save the Planet? (That’s a joke in itself) What are your thoughts?
A shocking reality for ALL. Life is NOT fair. There are NO PERFECT ANSWERS to anything.

There are choices for every issue. Fortunately we should investigate the current choices and then chose what to do. New items. EV autos are not at all new. They existed in the 1900's. Major advantage, no need to hand crank to start and not manual transmission. In those days a stick shift was not synchronized-far harder to shift. All is not what was. My car is OLD but garage kept. It is reliable, with low mileage. I have no need to change. My choice is made..
