So you'll spend 5 min figuring out how to hook up the charger, another two min getting it hooked up, and working, and if it isn't rejected, you'll have to wait 40 hours to get 200 miles of electricity..

-or-

Stop in a gas station, put 400 miles of fuel in you car in about 8 min

Fossil Fuels are natural resources! you dumb fuck! It's wouldn't run out! not in a million years. You fucking arrogant piece of shit! What will you do when the power goes down? Where are you going to charge that electric car? Up your ass?? Fucking stupid.

@taztaz79 you would still need something other than the electric car for long distance trips.

[taztaz79]

@flynmid For me an electric car will be more convenient than a gasoline car.. (Well i don't drive gasoline cars anymore, i drive CNG/CBG cars that is much more friendly to nature). I never need to stay at a petrol station anymore, when i come home i just plug in the car. I can even charge my car at work every day for FREE!. Then i don't have to charge it at home :) Fuel for free.. :) I can also have a pre heated car, without gasoline burners! :) Wonderful! :)

@flynmid It's a fact that 80% of the population travel less than 50km per day.. If you want to pull a boat i guess electric cars are not for you yet. Then you have to wait a while. For me (i have 2 cars) an electric car is just perfect. My trip forth and back to work is 60km. My GF travels 100km each day. We could both use this car a LOT. For long distance driving i can use the other car. I travel quite much (around 38000 miles/year) in my cars..

@seapeddler "millons of people die each year".. yeah sure... haha.. Give me a source where you found this information......

[flynmid]

@taztaz79 We'll see who the loser is when it takes you a week to drive the distance i can go in less than a day while pulling a boat.

I have money. I much prefer the convenience of gasoline. Until electricity is just as convenient, I'll stick with what I've got

@taztaz79 Hey, wait a minute. I have degrees from 100's of prestigious universities. The air surrounding a battery charger becomes ionized with the zero-point flux. Unheard of in the news, but millions of people die each yr. from charging batteries. So, technically speaking, a 30 gal. gas tank is not hazardous. It is the people who own electric cars that should have 20 gal ABC fire extinguishers. I'm shocked at your ignorance on the topic ! : )

[taztaz79]

@seapeddler WHAT are you mumbling about? Spontanius ignite? Why? I guess you are talking about liquid batteries and gas from those beeing ignited? That has nothing to do with electric cars anymore.. :)

[taztaz79]

@flynmid And pay a fortune for you gas when you can drive an electric car instead and pay 1/4th of the gas costs.. lol.. looser :)
