Electric Vehicles here to stay, for good or bad?

I wouldn’t want to do either. Keep vehicles relatively full and have some fuel in gas cans at home. When it’s time to hit the road, the last thing you want to be doing is spending your evac time waiting in line at the gas station.

So Florida evacuations underway for hurricane Milton and they are staging fuel and charging stations along evacuation routes. That will be a slow and long route depending on where you live. Would you prefer the attempt with an ICE vehicle or an EV? I would think finding fuel and quickly refilling in an ICE would be better.

I'm not an EV guy, but just a flip side..
After Beryl, we had a hell of a time finding fuel way up here in Huntsville. Stations out of fuel. Lines around the block.. I'd sure still prefer ice, and other than our scooters, that's all we have.
But if I had a short, predictable commute, I wouldn't be apposed to do it in an EV.

Was in suburban KC last week, saw just one EV. Get home and several 'Muskmobiles' every day.

Never should have been built to require server access to begin with.

That buyer was New York-based American Lease, which agreed to pay $46.3 million for more than 3,000 Oceans. That works out to barely $15,000 each, much lower even than the reduced pricing Fisker tried to use to boost sales.

American Lease is no longer pleased with the terms of the deal, reports TechCrunch. Late last week, after it had already paid Fisker $42.5 million and taken delivery of more than 1,100 vehicles, Fisker informed the buyer that it wouldn't be able to port the cars to a new server. "[Oceans] cannot, as a technical matter, be 'ported' from the Fisker server to which the vehicles are currently linked to a distinct server owned and/or controlled by [American Lease]," Fisker claimed.

Lol, Due diligence done for.

Fools and their money part is awesome ways.
