    Wouldn’t more EV’s on the road create competition, possibly encouraging the oil industry to compete price wise? More supply, lower prices? I haven’t heard anyone mention that. Maybe that will slowly happen. The way cars are made now, being more and more non serviceable. Throw aways. The EV’s and especially the hybrids aren’t much more of a risk to own than a standard combustion engine.

    Hybrid is the way to go, EV's have there faults, mainly infrastructure, but also long term reliability, Was watching Edison motors video on there hybrid truck last night, really cool concept that should have happened 25 years ago when ev cars started showing up.

    It gets mentioned a lot, same with renewable energy. The use of both enhances national security as well. Bush Jr talked about it one of his later State of the Union speeches. But the economic and national security arguments get ignored by climate folks and downplayed by Big Oil.

    I'm only 33, but that's even been a big deal in my 12 year career. At one point I was paying over 200 a month regularly and paid as much as 500 in a month so I could stream movies and play video games from my truck sleeper using my Verizon hotspot. They were charging me by the gigabyte! Now I have unlimited 5G for 30 bucks a month through Visible. Wild how fast things change!
