Well, not much if I have crossed the rainbow bridge
Hybrids are beginning to make more and more sense for most folks. It eases the economy into electrification without exposing the consumer to reliance on promised recharging infrastructure that may or may not be there when needed.
Before I retired if I had a 100 miles of EV range I'd never needs to start the ICE on my old commute. Hybrids use the same battery technology as EV's so all your "concerns" will still apply to that hybrid ... except for range anxiety.
That was the most fraudulently named Act of Congress ever foisted on the American public. It had absolutely zero to do with inflation!
Yes, and everything to do with politics. I wonder if anyone our age thinks about what inflation does to an old person retirement nest egg?
I think it becomes obvious to all of us old farts when we see prices skyrocket like they have. We are old enough to have seen this before and we know the cause (read printing money). The young unless they have been paying attention havent a clue as to what causes inflation and just assume it is a natural economic cycle.
ITA. But they have been kept ignorant. Indeed, their own actions mimic the US Govt, only THEY cant print money. Look at all those people flying here and there for each holiday. They have 9,000 in credit card debt, student loan debt, no retirement savings and are one paycheck away from bankrupcy. And a house and car/truck they really cant afford. Half of all college kids move back home after graduation. I have neighbors all around where their kids are living in old RVs and tents on their parent's 10 acres. Most have zero fiscal hygene. Kids in college on college loans taking winter break in Aspen???? Spring in florida????
Sadly Chris, we as a nation are just as guilty as the kids we disparage. If we had any sense at all, we would scream bloody murder until our politicians make a concerted effort to reduce our national debt. Instead, it is just to easy to listen to their siren song and allow them to spend, spend, spend. One day, perhaps not in my lifetime, the chickens will come home to roost!
