Hyundai have just completed over 1000km in clinical conditions: downhill, following wind, etc
Re-read what I wrote and note that I didn't say that I liked it or didn't, I just pointed out it exists for the first 200,000 vehicles sold.Um, you were the one who explained in your 1st post about the $7500.00 tax credit Politics has nothing more to do with my comment than yours. You appear to like the idea of a tax credit & I don't that's not politics
Link? What I've found shows the payback for increased manufacturing pollution to be 18 months or less and improving every year.EV is evolving at an alarming rate. It's a great technology. Unfortunately a person who is buying EV vehicles need to realize they are the biggest polluters of almost any vehicle out there.
How can this be? The manufacturing process of Lithium-ion batteries creates so much wasted energy and pours out so many pollutants that it will take over 50 years of driving a single vehicle to show an environmental benefit.
By that time the batteries are in the landfill and the process starts all over again. EV's are really cool and fun. But just remember you are not saving the environment by buying one.
Wow, I'm gonna have to defer to Hunter S Thompson on this one "There is no such thing as Objective Journalism " but if your truly an objective person my hat's off to you.Re-read what I wrote and note that I didn't say that I liked it or didn't, I just pointed out it exists for the first 200,000 vehicles sold.
The 10% tax credit is also limited to a maximum of $2,500. That means you shouldn’t expect an even $3K credit for a $30K Harley-Davidson LiveWire electric motorcycle.[/URL]Buying an electric motorcycle in 2021 just got cheaper with more US tax credits
As electric motorcycles grow in popularity, American riders can find substantial savings this year in the form of extended tax...electrek.co
They don't have the range most here want and don't have the personality of gas engines, but are great for commuters and you can see the distant future approaching.
No sweat.Wow, I'm gonna have to defer to Hunter S Thompson on this one "There is no such thing as Objective Journalism " but if your truly an objective person my hat's off to you.
Anyway what you like or don't like wasn't and isn't the point, my original post has nothing more to do with politics than your post it's as simple as that.
That is the Murdock and oil industry myth that gets rolled out annually and it's repeatedly been found to be false for a number of reasons. One is that the full life-cycle to salvage eco impact of an EV is something like a third of ICE vehicles. Part of that is from the EV (corrected) vehicles averaging 40% more efficiency in operation and another part is that manufacturers keep figuring out how to built the things for less cost.EV is evolving at an alarming rate.

Did you mean to say EV vehicles rather than ICE vehiclesPart of that is from the ICE vehicles averaging 40% more efficiency in operation and another part is that manufacturers keep figuring out how to built the things for less cost.
afaik - The only pipeline canceled has been the expansion of Keystone to Keystone XL, which would be just one way for Canada to get their shale oil to port for foreign sales rather than going to their own alternatives.And of course pipelines, which are less affected by weather are being canceled.
