Thank you for all your work in weeding out the Smelly crap that passes for news about EVs. Also thanks for all the great articles you do pass on. It has been great to read and pass on to friends and family. I did not read those listed and probably wouldn’t especially if they are labeled as you have here. I vote if you do include, only once in a great while, if at all. Just reminds me that first they ignore you. Then they talk down to you. Then they fight you. Then you win. (Or something like that). We are in the talk down to and fight stages. It won’t be long now.
