EVs are great as an M-plate (for local transportation).
Wow, "dipshits," really? Why do I feel like I'm back at the office at GM. Except at GM it would be two people right next to me talking to each other, rather than directly to me, for plausible deniability.
PS, I like EVs but have seen people have trouble with range reduction in cold weather with new ones.
