    Use your words, which part do you agree with?
    That nations are banning ICE vehicles or that there are alternatives that are not electric?

    Because both are easily sourced if you know how to do a simple search...

    The federal fleet will be using the retail charging stations in those parking spaces I mentioned? What about a federal official who drives their car home at night and needs to charge it?

    Nations that are banning ICE vehicles are acting stupidly and will be compelled by reality to embarrassing climb-downs.

    Who denied that? I have never heard anyone say that. I think most people just think that it should evolve on its own without government interference. Government wants everything done before the next election and that is usually poor timing. At the moment electric vehicles are less practical than petroleum powered ones by a lot. If the government leaves things alone people will change when electric vehicles become more practical.

    Thanks for your opinion?
    I am sure it is relevant to... well, someone...

    @Jack Hays “Nations that are banning ICE vehicles are acting stupidly and will be compelled by reality to embarrassing climb-downs.”
    Many people say EV’s will always be a gimmick, this poll alone has almost half the respondents saying they will “stick with fuel”.

    I agree with you but government can push things along so that we can lead the world — that use to be how America operated.

    Don't ask a question if you don't want the answer.

    I asked an either or question, option 1 or option 2, you chose to issue an opinion not based in fact.

    Except our last correspondence was:

    “Use your words, which part do you agree with?
    That nations are banning ICE vehicles or that there are alternatives that are not electric?

    Because both are easily sourced if you know how to do a simple search...”​

    I see you have gotten confused and believe we are playing tennis, let me know when you wander back to the computer.

    Your either/or question was not of interest.

    Ah, just like your opinion.

    Strange though coming from someone that says “Don't ask a question if you don't want the answer.”

    Take care, you’re done.

    Be my guest. Unlike the EV, the incandescent bulb was a technological advance.

    Good I will hold you to this

    Ten years ago there were no hybrids here now nearly every Taxi company has bought them. We do not yet have the infrastructure for EV but many cities here are buying into the free city scooter craze https://studentone.com/how-to-use-lime-scooters-the-rules/. In fact it is so popular that they have become menaces

    Yes but a few years ago the screams about the phase out of IncaNdescents was unbelievable. Every climate denialist was online screaming about fascism and how dare anyone and it would cause us all to expire from mercury and........

    This will be the same

    Aaaand running out of fuel has never been an issue for an army?

    Meanwhile apparently the US military got its nose out of joint in Afghanistan when the Australian army turned up in solar tents
