EV Mandates will lead to unaffordable insurance premiums

[George Orwell 1984]

I prefer to begin my iterations when a minimally suitable technological platform is delivered.
If EVs had an AL-ion battery that could charge in minutes, cost 1/2 as much, and only 20 or so mega-watt charge stations in town were required, then MAYBE I'd jump on that. Any iterations previous to this are costly, wasteful, and maybe even more polluting.

Yes, e-bikes could be considered a minimally suitable technological platform ... though you can find them below the $2000 price point which would suit many ... for a good portion of the year they would permit ease of transport and with the increase in cycling infrastructure also being built they start to ease congestion ...

Based on our capitalistic ways, anyone who is chasing the new battery tech needs to show that the ROI will be high enough for an investor ... as long as we have the motivation to buy EVs that will be a relatively easy sell, if we give up before pressuring the industry to find that solution we all lose ...

More idiot bicyclists on the road / sidewalks . They are an entitled hazard ,three abreast yakking ignoring rules of the road never mind common sense.I’m a cyclist nope, I’m a pedestrian fooled ya . I can ride on sidewalks and switch my identity at will . Stop signs pffft never .

And the data to backup these claims? Nope, doesn't exist ... it's always entitled people in cars demanding free parking in front of wherever they are going like they can't use those two appendages at the ends of their legs ...

I don’t need data to back up my claims I see it right in front of me EVERY DAY

Anecdotal evidence is always the best makes all that time and effort that researchers put into proving hypothesis seem wasted ...
