#1 They had a ton of electric buses in Oslo, Norway recently; emphasis on had. Seems that EV / batteries don't work as advertised in the cold. Anyone of you who used to own a '70's era Dodge Charger and tried starting it in 10 F weather can relate to a degree.

#3 Also fires in New Haven, Conn, last year. And Hertz selling 1/3 of their EV fleet. And Chevy discontinuing the Blazer.

Maybe the EVs are't really ready for prime time. Hype and hoopla will only take you so far.

#4 For a real thrill, you can get a Chinese manufactured one that has the battery pack suspended below the sub-frame.

'Planned Obsolescence'.
