Some bold statements you put out there for discussion.
I find it ironic that you chose to pick on Honda, as opposed to any of the

There is the problem. Our collective failure to understand that our maximum
approach to GREED and CONSUMPTION is simply unsustainable.
Maximizing Profit is pure greed
I won't argue with your fundamental principle, but certainly, of all the
automakers, Honda has been one of the most responsible, if not the most, of all

You may be correct about EVs, but give it time - there's no turning back. The
cost delta is shrinking, and some great cars are being produced that raise the

In the early days of the EVDL, we debated (sometimes pretty strongly) AC vs

A normal battery charger can only see the total pack voltage. It has to
