They don’t think they emote. It is all about the feels.

That's where I was going with this. I almost typed your exact words.

EV's might make sense as a small-town or city police cruiser but you would need twice as many because half of them will need to be charging while the other half are on the road.

Not one person wants evs in our police force in our small town.

This is what it's going to take for reality to set in to the populous. Way too many people don't think things through, they just impulsively go for it and learn the hard lessons on the journey.

They're not practical and that battery drains even faster or is more difficult to charge in extreme cold.

I think electric vehicles are a nice novelty item, but no practical for the population on a large scale.

Yeah, the market for them is real, but real small. The green hippies need to calm down and let the rest of us not be a green hippies.

It feels good, or sounds good, so let's do it.

Completely unrelated, but seems to fit into the beech category. Haven't had any mail delivered all week, as well as my neighbors. Went to the post office today and picked up my mail and was told that it's a bad week for them. People on vacation and no one to deliver the mail. Maybe I should apply for a job. Anyway, talked to a neighbor that has a relative that's a mail carrier here, and told that some employees are told to stay home on certain days because they don't have enough vehicles for them to use. They do have a new fleet of 350 battery vehicles, but no way to charge them yet. Government in action!

 

[Djfan]

Zona, where is this taking place?

North Phoenix. Yesterday was the 4th day in a row with no delivery.

Batteries like that shut down at 110F.

Imagine a bullet going through one. Kaboom.

Back in the mid-80's I was a young Oldsmobile salesman. A local PD had bought three 1981 Delta 88 diesels from us for police cars to save money on fuel. Olds did not have a police package but they were ordered with HD suspension, HD cooling, and Positraction axles. They really liked them and wanted to get three new ones but they wanted to lease so the numbers didn't come up in their favor between the high miles and depreciation since by then the diesel's problems* were well-known. The police cars were relatively trouble-free because they were driven a lot.

* The Olds diesel wasn't the greatest engine but most of the problems could be traced to improper maintenance and they were sold to the wrong people for the wrong reasons, i.e. old people who didn't drive a lot and were sold on the idea of fuel economy and "no tune-ups". However they did require an oil change every 3000 miles and a coolant change every 12,000 miles to preserver the head gaskets. And to save money there was no fuel-water separator which a diesel should have. And the transmission wasn't up to handling the diesel's torque.

So in other words it was gm junk.

I wonder if they have figured out the three seashells.
