Gas issue not a problem for my family

One of our cars is a 2025 Subaru EV Soltera. No gas, no oil, etc Range of 240 miles.

The other vehicle is a 2025 Jeep Wrangler 4XE plug-in hybrid. We fill it with gas when we hit half a tank as the work commute uses EV power and no gas. We have filled it 3 times in the last year and use gas on occasion to keep fuel fresh.

While gas is not a problem, the gas coming out of the GOP political vehicle is annoying.

EVs and hybrids are an energy $$ and pollution shell game.

Meanwhile, here in Silicon Valley, gas prices are still lower than the LIEden peak that DU-folk did not see being a problem. Unlike DU-folk, if the prices at the stations I've been using for years do top the LIEden peak, I won't keep quiet about it. I won't lie, even by omission.

Yeah, those EV vehicles are nice until it is time to replace the battery. Between the cost of a new one and then the resultant ecological problem with getting rid of them I think that whatever they save will in the long run be erased later on.

Our local pulbic transit has some electric buses in their fleet. This past winter, I was talking to someone who told me a bunch of them weren't working. I don't know whether that had to do with winter weather, but if true, it's annoying as hell.
