How stupid.

The more technical vehicles get the stupider they are. I have a friend who just got a new Jeep Grand Cherokee. The touch screen on that was defiantly designed for a 20 year old with 20 /20 vision. Looks like a fighter jet interment panel. It was so much easier back when all you had to do was flick a switch or twist a knob to get heat or air or just fresh air.

I'll still remember when I bought my wife's new car by the year or so ago.

It has keyless ignition and she text me I cannot get the car started. Lol

I said is you foot on a brake. ?? Lol

I hate getting half way across a parking lot before I realize the key fob is still in the cup holder.

I was good enough in the old days when we still had keys at UPS, that I could get up from my seat and have the key in the key hole for the bulkhead door in one movement lol.

Bulkhead doors had locks? I thought they had a mechanism that only worked if it was stuffed with little wads of delivery notices.

If you locked your keys in the back the little metal clip do you had to hold your delivery records together you can pop it open

I always knew where my keys were------they were in the ignition. You should have seen me fumbling around trying to do the methods when I had a rider. It was almost embarrassing.

I was once stopped by a new female sup as I was pulling out of the building one fine morning.
She started yelling that this was the 3rd day in a row that she had seen me leaving without closing the bulkhead door.
The center manager was standing directly behind her, I looked at him and said for him to explain it to her.
And off I went.
I was driving a Ford Econoline Air Van. ( P300 )

Biden tucked $500m to build more electric vehicles into Ukraine aid

President Biden has tucked another $500 million to fund production of the minerals used to make batteries for electric cars into the Ukraine aid bill passed by Congress.

www.dailymail.co.uk

• Tucked into that package was half a billion dollars to be allocated under the Defense Production Act to companies obtaining critical battery minerals
• That's in addition to the $750 million DOD was authorized to dole out to mining companies when Biden first invoked DPA for critical minerals

US and north america is a corrupt hole country.

you have pathetic levels of high speed trains. your public transit is a joke. electrification is probably pretty low. theres obviously little planning. all the signs point to my first statement.

Really @rickyb you don't hate North America?

Friend of mine has had an EV for a couple years. For commuting 50 miles round trip, grocery getting, and errand running it's worked out very well. His ownership of this vehicle has also provided me with just cause to refer to him as a hippie.

This is because every evening, it gets charged in his garage.

For a long distance destination, even with planning for charging stations in mind, you should also have plans "B" and "C".

For now.
