    heh. This reminds me of electric cars. I’ve been happily driving one for 9 years.

    Lots of people online and in person tell me “Electric cars aren’t there yet. They won’t work.” Well, you must be correct then. I just handed down my first EV to my kid and bought a second one.

      Anyone who says electric cars aren’t there are making inaccurate statements at best and at worst are telling non-factual ones. The truth isn’t that electric cars aren’t ready, is that the energy distribution isn’t ready. Only urbanized areas are prepared to offer that much energy at scale and living in an urbanized area you shouldn’t need a personal vehicle for most of your travels anyway.

      Side note, this is why I think plug-in-hybrids are the baby step we need to achieve first. Even with their obvious flaws they fill the gap between an internal combustion engine and full electric.
