Thanks for this writeup. I'll be sharing it around some of my gearhead groups on Facebook later prepared to be fully mocked by those group members who drink the EV koolaid. But hopefully some few will read and be educated.

It's not that I'm anti-electric. My rider mower, string trimmer, leaf blower, pressure washer are all electric. But not because I think I'm being green or saving money (although the pressure washer was cheaper than any gas alternative). For me it's a maintenance and convenience factor. No more gummed up carbs. No having to plan ahead to have fuel on hand.

But what I gain there isn't applicable to how I use my roadgoing vehicles.
