Haha...urban roulette

Related, I recently heard from the Georgia Port Authority that volumes are significantly down. Not consistent with a high-growth environment.

Single motor as fun to drive as the dual motor?

Subterranean Homesick Blues. Honorable mention for Talkin' Bear Mountain Picnic Massacre Blues and its utter absurdity (but successful biting social commentary as a result of its absurdity).

Second, a recent NYU study found that emergency room visits for respiratory issues dropped 20% *in a single month* after a coal plant near Pittsburgh closed. And asthma-related visits for kids dropped 41%. (2/2) www.energycentral.com/fossil-therm...

No.

You are a glutton for automotive punishment. Won't be surprised to see you post "looking for a VF8 RN" in 5 years. 🤣

Range is a red herring. People want more range because they're not confident charging in public, especially in locations away from home (e.g., annual road trips). They want an EV that can do the trip without having to rely on public charging.

Get infrastructure right, "range anxiety" disappears.

But I do agree with your assessment of the endgame: most EREV owners will likely figure out pretty quickly that a full EV would work for them & will end up replacing their EREV with a BEV.

(There are edge case exceptions, but they're pretty low-frequency.)

Disagree, and you hit the nail on the head with why: people know how to find and use gasoline infrastructure. They're a lot less certain & comfortable with charging infrastructure. So having that gas safety net solves a huge psychological barrier to electrifying transportation.
