A healthy horse can travel 20-30 miles a day*. EV’s have ten times that range
*less, if you are pushing the horse
Uncharged/ unchargable EVs have less range than horses.

It’s strange where you chose to place your faith.
On one hand, you have no faith that we can generate power, despite the fact that we’ve been doing if for a century, but on the other hand, you have faith that Trump will be reinstalled, despite the fact that there is no way to do that.

Faith is not some superficial “placing”

A new and novel argument? How new is the constitution?
The idea of an EV mandate is crumbling before it becomes an actual mandate.
“Be not the first by whom the new are tried,
Nor yet the last to lay the old aside.”
― Alexander Pope, An Essay On Criticism

You bet. Why is it gonna blow up?
It shouldn’t have to be spelled out to a person that they are free to travel, walk, drive a car, truck, or ride in a wheelbarrow or buggy. …
I don’t know of anybody that wants a ban on EV’s, people have a right to buy and drive them. Two of my cousins have them and they are awesome.
A ban on gasoline vehicles is what this administration is working toward.
The courts recognized in the early 1800’s that the right to travel makes America a more perfect union.
Our constitution sustains Americans as free in the pursuit of happiness. The right to travel goes along with that.
Our right to travel is not a right to travel in a manner or to a place that encroaches on another person’s right. - - - like traveling in my car with me is not a right unless I give permission. Entering my house without my permission is also encroaching upon my rights. Entering my house without identifying who a person is also is not a right.
So there are no charging stations? By your logic, an ICE vehicle is restricted to the distance one could travel with a full tank.
IMO, it is good advice. I practice it. Suit yourself.
If the grid blows up, there will be no power for gas pumps. So there’s that.

You clearly don’t even understand the conversation. Go outside and play.
Does having to drive a car with emissions controls limit your “right to travel”? How about mileage standards or safety standards?
Explain it to me genius.

How about having no car at all.
A small portable generator (or even a solar panel) will run a gas pump, but it will take many hours for it to charge an EV.

That doesn’t really answer my question. You made the case that limiting you to electric power was a problem. But what about restricting the potential of gas power, is that also a problem?
