President Biden will announce tough new rules on car pollution

[bradfordwhite]

Electric vehicles are already the big sellers.

Hopefully this legislation will kill off the petroleum vehicles by default.

Ford and Toyota- where are you're heads? I doubt these companies will be leaders or even exist in the future.

Electric cars, will leave you stranded in the middle of nowhere when the battery runs out. Even a shorter range than something with a V8..

i mean, any car will leave you stranded if you run out of gas, electricity, or hydrogen... when was the last time this happened to you or anyone you know however? I feel like this always gets brought up but like, noone I know has ever ran out of gas or electricity. cars have a gauge that tells you how much you have left and newer ones even give you an estimate in miles which tends to be pretty decently accurate. If you're running low, go charge/refill or whatever & continue on your way.

An Australian "Electric Viking" reporting about what is going to happen in the USA in the future.

Just another Tesla lover channel.

If your vehicle breaks down, roadside assistance can help arrange a tow, change a flat tire, jump-start a dead battery and more. Additionally, a plan covers some or all of the cost of emergency roadside services.

Most car insurance companies offer roadside assistance as a coverage add-on for $10 to $20 per year. Drivers can also get coverage through a credit card company, a car manufacturer or an auto club, like AAA.
