(8,377 posts)These are the same people that fight like hell if a municipality tries to pass a law saying that they have to buy any excess electricity I produce, even if they only have to pay me one-fourth the rate that I have to pay them for electricity.
And no, if anybody tries to take gasoline out of my tank, I'm going to shoot them (*), even if they are holding a wad of cash. I put the gas in my tank for a reason -- because I need to get somewhere.
Re: draining the battery dry, what's the difference? If I have a vehicle that will go 50 miles on a full charge. I have to be able to count on that. If I know I have a 40-mile round trip the next morning, I will take the EV and give the gas car to my wife if she has a longer trip. And then I go out to my garage and find I'm only good for 35 miles? What kind of nonsense is that? These people are idiots if they thing that is going to fly.
* I don't actually have a gun, but I'd be angry enough to shoot them. That's why I don't own a gun.
