So, all this is for ICE cars. If you have one of those electric cars
and you are out of juice, at the side of the road, what do they do?
You can't just jump start it, you have to put enough charge it it
to get it somewhere to plug in. So, what do they do? Like if you
have such a car and call AAA what do they do? I expect it's tow you
to someplace to plug in.



You pull out the portable wind generator and solar cell and wait for the
sun to come out or the wind to blow. Just one of the green solutions of
AOC.


Those electric cars may be ok for those that never get out of the city
and only go 10 or 20 miles at a time. Now if they ever get them where
you can recharge them at many places like all the gas service stations
and pumps and in the time it takes to gas up an ICE car they may have
something for me. The battery better last 10 years or more also.




They are getting better, but I still have reservations. How is the
climate control in extreme weather? Takes a lot of battery to make the
cabin comfortable in both 0 degrees and 100 degrees. With 311 HP, my
car handles both well and I don't want to compromise.

What happens to the old batteries long term? Are they a potential
ecological disaster?

As far as AOC, she has the right idea. You take a bus to the train
station for travel since we won't have airplanes any more and cars will
be of little need. Her plan is expected to cost $600,000 per household
so I'm saving up to give my contribution. So far, I have a quarter, two
dimes, four pennies and a button in the jar.
