  • all fueled cars must be supplied by a nightmare of tanker trucks, dispatchers, diesel mechanics, and an army of drivers and full-time support personnel just to keep the gas stations supplied-- that triples the true cost of running that sorry smelly noisy gas guzzler of yours.

    And just how long do you think gasoline can remain @ its present price? They are already drilling miles below the ocean out of desperation, and the more trouble they have to go to to get the oil, the more it costs!

  • Much better without that silly noise (music)

  • @MrMegaWolfeman (cont'd) No, a rotary driven car is not simpler, more efficient or less polluting than an EV! An EV can be charged by solar and the energy delivered very efficiently over the grid-- not so with a rotary, which can be efficient, or clean-running, but not both! Any engineer knows that! The Mazda rotaries are extremely inefficient, which is why they are the poor man's sports car.

    An EV requires no transmission or moving parts at all other than their wheels-- check yr facts!

  • @MrMegaWolfeman U have no ability to reason! Just cuz there R some laughable conspiracy theories does not mean no one has ever carried out a conspiracy, & just cuz the oil companies don't conspire with each other does not mean they don't individually try to suppress products or legislation that would reduce their profits. BP's disregard for the lives & safety of its workers is being proven as we speak, as we all see.

    I have no doubt U have a vested interest in sweeping dirt under the rug!

  • @billdale1 Well bill, by your own arguing, we should be using rotary engines, more reliable, less parts etc, and also are less damaging to the environment than the creation of batteries. If we have such an epidemic with throwing out double A batteries, what do you think when 100 million americans need to replace their car batteries?

  • @juscurious OBAMA IS SATAN, THE WORLD TRADE CENTER WAS BLOWN UP BY ALIENS WHO WORKED FOR THE CIA WHO WERE EMPLOYED BY AL GORE, WHO COMES FROM GEORGE BUSHS PLANET OF CRIPTON 2, WHICH WAS DESTROYED BY COMMUNIST GLOBAL WARMING!!!!!!!!!! THE PENGUINS NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! ALL SPONSORED BY THE FBI AND PETA!!!!!

    LOL okay, i am posting that because i think conspiracy theorists are retards, and 100% agree with you man, those EV1s had inherent issues for GM, oil companies invest in new tech, not destroy it

  • @frankdahlin they would crush the cars rather than sell because of liabilities in selling the vehicle. They would have to perform maintenance on the vehicle, and also have specialists on call to work on the vehicles directly. Also, if there ever turned out to be an issue with these cars and someone got hurt, GM would be VERY liable

  • juscurious (cont'd 4): instead of 25- 40 cents per mile for gasoline depending on cost of gas.

    EVs never need to idle, only turn as fast as they need to turn to move the car; are far more efficient, simpler, cleaner.

    The reason gas prices have not skyrocketed again since last 2008 is because OPEC realizes that when gasoline passed 3/ gal, there was enormous new interest in driving EVs. EVs R what hold down gas prices!

    I have an EV (see my You Tube video), so I KNOW what I'm talking about!

  • juscurious (cont'd 4): of 25 - 40 cents per mile for gasoline depending on price of gas. The reason OPEC has not allowed gas prices to skyrocket again since last year is cuz they know that if they keep it below $3/ gal., there will be far less interest in switching to EVs.

    EVs do not need reverse gears like ICE cars do cuz electric motors can turn in reverse to back up, unlike ICEs. No wasted energy making noise, vibration & pumping gallons of air and fluid-- coolant, oil, etc. (cont'd)

  • juscurious (cont'd 3): want cars that r very complex, require lots of maintenance and R so complex they scare car owners away from doing their own repairs, which is why car makers R willing to sell parallel hybrids which r twice as complex as ordinary cars-- true EVs only have 1 moving part to replace hundreds of moving parts in an engine. The hi-performance Tesla electric car only has 12 moving parts total! EVs R extremely efficient-- just 2 or 3 cents per mile for electricity instead (con'd)
