And furthermore!!! Isn't there at least one study out there somewhere (maybe) that shows the nickel and cobalt in those EV batteries are just as bad for the environment and the overall carbon footprint is the same as a regular car? I think I remember seeing that at one point so HA!

You DO NOT understand the difference between a one-time issue (nickel and cobalt) and polluting during every single mile you drive. So, do not compare manufacturing issues to use issues.

FYI: All cars are loaded with hazardous materials—electric or gasoline or diesel. AND, all gasoline car batteries are loaded with lovely lead.

Racket seems to miss that certain hazardous materials are locally contained. Which means that the materials are not released into rest of the environment. That goes for batteries in electric car as well as gasoline cars. But pipe emissions are dumped in the atmosphere and irretrievable.

No, there is not one credible study that says that. There is this one guy who makes videos and writes articles to that effect. But everyone who seriously studies this stuff says that EV's are much better for the environment than gas cars.

Mining for nickel and cobalt is not terribly good for the environment. But it's a lot better than oil drilling with its spills large and small.

You and "derp difference" seem to miss that I don't actually care, but here's a nice story of cobalt mines that I didn't read but looks damning :

I doubt it's "better than oil drilling" since it's probably just strip mined out of Africa. My conviction to drive a gas car is stronger than Flagpole's constant reassurance to himself that he's the smartest person ever and that Trump will not make it past January 2021.

The king of hill climbing is an EV. Check out the winner of this year's Pike's Peak Hill Climb. And the EV did it faster than any gas care ever.

First of all, the "king of hill climbing" will forever be the Audi Sport Quattro. Second, good for VW putting up an electric car, because I hate Tesla and all their annoying fanboys and would love for VW/Audi to put them out of business.

Hate really isn't a good look for anyone. It makes anyone who falls from grace into hatred look like a complete idiot with irrational positions on any matter that rubs up against their hatred. See the Trumpettes for examples of why you should really try to avoid it.

Like I said, hatred is not a good look. And your irrational positions are VERY clearly showing.

This is one thing I refuse to bend on. I'm all about curbing climate change and reducing emissions but I will drill my own oil and refine my own gas before I ever drive an electric car I swear to God especially an electric sedan.

You are free to your opinion, but I will never go back to a gas car.

Gas cars are awful to drive. When I have to go from my EV to a gas car it feels like I've gone from driving a jet plane to driving a dump truck. Plus, I love never needing to visit a smelly gas station.

What EV do you have?

I do not believe I am the smartest person ever...not even close.

Trump will NOT make it past Jan. 2021 though.

But you won't want to. An electric SUV will be far superior.

Are electric SUVs and pick up trucks better vehicles now?

And they cost the same without govt incentives?

Wow I bet you're fun at parties.

many people don't understand the electric cars can be faster than gasoline cars - electrics can pull forward all the torque the engine can provide, instantaneously.

Yeah they get torque instantly so they pull at the line faster and that's it. There's no replacement for displacement though (except a huge mf'in turbo or supercharger). In 2050, I will drive around town in my original 1984 Audi Quattro rally car (that I will have one day) getting like 10 miles to the gallon while everyone in their electric struggles to go up a wet hill.

no joke I learned how to drive in a 1984 Audi Quattro turbo. Maybe 1983. My dad's daily driver. Had the biggest turbo lag I've ever felt, but when that thing came on, it was a kick.

new best friend acquired. My neighbor had one when I was a kid and my dad would always do maintenance on it for him. Speaking of cars, apparently China is reducing tariffs on US autos. Big win for Trump!!! (it's not that much money in the first place for anyone actually curious)

Yeah, a quick scan of the major Liberal news outlets this morning tells you all you need to know on the "But, but, but RUSSIA!!" hoax.

Nothing Russian collusion or obstruction-related is even mentioned. They've all hopped over to Campaign Finance now. HA- he paid with his own money, dipsh!ts. Even John Edwards, who paid his mistress with actual money raised for his campaign, wasn't found guilty of breaking campaign finance laws.

as a wise man said, trump will eventually be caught for tax fraud, wire fraud, business fraud, felony campaign finance fraud, obstruction of justice, conspiracy against america, etc...but M@GAS will still be saying 'no collusion.'

No unusual for crime bosses to be convicted and multiple crimes on the way to the chewing chocolate center of collusion.

But I am sure Trump wakes ever morning happy that all you Trumpeloes are out there denying and ignoring reality.

He's your Capone - I get it - It makes you feel special - different.
