Because I gotta have tow hooks

Cool!

Seriously very cool

Dissociated from politics and corporate economics, electrically-powered vehicles unarguably hold certain very distinct advantages in certain use cases. That's why a lot of construction and special-use vehicles actually move under electrical power, and only use a large ICE to generate power for them. When the power starts at the wheel, you have next to no energy wasted in transfer through six layers of drivetrain before it gets to the ground. It can also be controlled with much more precision than simply rotation speed. The computer also doesn't have to wait for all of those steps in order to adjust for traction control and other things - since the pedal tells the computer what to do and then the motors on the wheels just do it immediately, the electronics have a whole lot less back-and-forth communications before compensation can be made.

It may not be the future for every use case, but I hope electric cars can be made into a sustainable industry the same as petroleum-reliant cars. It would be a shame if this kind of technology fades away as it has before.

E bikes for the win
Electric atv and electric snowmobile… that’s my future. Cruising through the woods on a snowmachine that is virtually silent so many advantages to that (experience the nature)

E bikes. As a kid I was limited to how far I could pedal now these things will do 80

Possibly an electric personal flying drone… would probably be cheaper then building / fixing this 2 mile road over and over

My whole shop and home is off grid
Sun powered or if not enough sun I generate it.
It’s a very rewarding way to live

An electric atv or bike would be perfect for us here, I have a 3 mile commute to the end of the road everytime we leave and it’s only 9 miles to town after that
Solar powered re charge when it gets back to the shop

Im an elevator guy so I’ve been up on the power and torque of electric motors for many years elevators are regenerative, and use ai … electric vehicles have their place! But the grid must be up for supporting it and sustainable otherwise we are just blowing smoke up each others wazoos

In China they have the nikola” electric vehicles where when the battery is down you stop at quick e lube and they swap the battery for a charged one.

When I can put a charged battery in a backpack and then go from the house on an electric atv … no fuel spent recharged by the sun/wind/hydro well… I am looking forward to that and the technology is already here
We just need better and better battery tech to store all the power

All it takes is one trip to a Costco gas pump on Friday afternoon, to realize,

We're gonna need a lot of chargers.

It needed to be a quote.
