If you guys want I can bottle up some H2O and send it down to y’all , Oregon has plenty and the summertime rivers never dry up , which makes for good Salmon fishing, Now I know why they call their sports teams Ducks and Beavers

Don't buy hybrid, don't buy electric, what else is there? Oh yeah, gas powered, wait, they are being banned in Cali. Guess it is back to the stinky old horse for transportation...

The hot ticket now is the EREV (Extended Range Electric Vehicle), also called "series hybrid". It uses the electric motor(s) strictly for driving the wheels, and has a small, efficient gas motor to charge the battery. MUCH simpler and less expensive to make, but gives you all the advantages of an electric drive train (like massive torque and efficiency).

So, slander no longer exists. Relatively recently, I watched a YouTube video that claimed Sam Elliot and Ellen DeGeneres both had died that week. And yet, they are very much alive today. Anybody can post anything these days.
I wonder how often that EREV vehicle will catch on fire and burn to the ground like the EV's and Hybrids do?

Poor build quality and lack of quality control. Lack of maintenance. Bad engineering. User error. Any vehicle can burn. Nothing wrong with the Pinto until people crashed them......... By getting hit from behind.
