I don't know if you noticed, but: 1. I've long since stopped giving a shit 2. This is an ice cream thread now 3. My wife picked up coffee ice cream today!

What's wrong with including hybrids to inflate the numbers? It's like reporting your income as the gross, rather than take home :crackup:

I believe that was Norm's point. On the one hand there's talk of how people need to be "dragged kicking and screaming into the future", and on the other you recognize how EV's aren't a 1:1 replacement for many vehicles for many people.

In my cars, the driver is the Captain. As such, mutineers can be made to walk the plank.

One time I had was meeting a vendor in Manhattan (back when you did that kind of thing). We had a lot to discuss, and the whole group was very friendly. As a result, I didn't leave until 2PM, which is after the cutoff for traffic. The GPS said it would take me 4 hours to travel 25 miles. I...

No, legacy chocolate will still be available. You'll be able to buy secondhand :cwl:.

Yes. Actually, my favorite is coffee.

Sure, but that's one fill at any gas station in any direction, along any route. One three minute fill against at least one 40 minute charge. That's assuming you can get to a Supercharger. If not, I'll see you there tomorrow at "normal" charging speeds. Once fast charging networks are rolled...

Didn't ask about where the engine is. I asked about the curb weight of the vehicle. Part of the fun in a Mini is whipping the light car around corners. No matter where you put the weight, more of it will change the behavior. The body might not roll, but the absolute cornering experience will...

How much more does the EV weigh? The Mini formula includes light & nimble as one of the cornerstones. Take that away and you get...the Countryman.

Every time you mention this, the little hamster running on his wheel inside my head gets really excited. Environmental regulations and European policies are boring. Weird engineering problems are fun. Any thoughts on what would happen if an electric motor were to "stall". Would it...

I'm sure tax and other incentives have nothing to do with that at all.

How would you know, you don't live in Europe anymore :cwl: ...what? Too soon for Brexit jokes? Why? The majority of people want Camry's and crossovers. I don't care what other people want, and I don't have to buy any of it either.

I haven't seen any evidence to support this assertion. You've been condescending to people, even when they weren't addressing you. Don't try to match us in a shit-slinging contest, we're the biggest apes around :cwl: Part of it was also to capture the youth market, no? Boomers no less :crackup:

Sometimes it's not what you say, it's how you say it. You just happen to sound like a Grade-A jackass when you're writing a response which you can't refute. Trust me, I'm considered an expert in the field.

I love how the entire crux of your arguments devolves into an Ad Hominem attack. Every. Single. Time.

Because Norway is only one country out of 44? Because the average age of cars in Norway is 10.5 years? Because Norway has both a relatively small population and the 2nd highest median wages? Because you can't extrapolate what is happening in one of the wealthiest nations on the planet to...

Yes, but there's no reason an automated junction can't decouple power from house-to-grid in the event of an outage.

That I don't know. I know it will let you bounce off the limiter like a jackanape, but I'm not sure if it'll allow a stall.
