Peri and all,
Just think a little about the average mentality – America loves oil, it makes their cars go for miles and miles and miles, and all it takes to fill up is a stop at the local 711, where you can get a hot dog and a coke or coffee by the way, or buy a lottery ticket (which you have 1 in a zillion chances to win). The only real EV is the Tesla. Look at the Leaf – it has battery problems and it takes hours to recharge the battery pack and you can only recharge in a couple places what a pia. And the Tesla is very very expensive, I’ll never be able to afford it, but I can get a beautiful gas car for only $18,000 or maybe even $16,000 and the price of gas is going to go down since they are going to be drilling for more of it, so it will be cheaper. Why should I waste my time with electric cars? And I really take issue with “industry has started to invest heavily in EV’s” What are you referring to? All the parts except a few are just pulled from other cars, they even make the EV in gas version, or the gas version in an EV… And besides, there is a $7000 tax rebate on EV’s that is not being collected by the government. And what about the road tax, since EV’s don’t buy gas, they don’t pay road tax… Rush Dougherty Tucson AZ 85719 From: Peri Hartman [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, November 09, 2016 4:14 PM To: Rush Dougherty; 'Bill Woodcock'; 'Electric Vehicle Discussion List' Subject: Re[2]: [EVDL] Trump and EV's I'm concerned about that Trump statement, too. However, while he can use executive order to change a lot of things, he has to abide by congress for major changes. Plus the auto industry has started to invest heavily in EVs and I don't think they are going to change course abruptly. They will likely wait at least until the midterm elections to see which way congress goes. Am I being too optimistic?

More oil for cars and pollution, no clean energy, no EV's, get used to it all over again.
