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.

New DUmmie virtue signaling they have a new EV...

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.

Batteries don't "like" colder and hotter weather. Temperature extremes, like winter and summer in much of the US mess with battery charge capacity (= vehicle range per charge). Even ignoring the few that have self-incinerated, EV buses are not performing well.
