Accelerating on an on ramp to get up to speed kills that many people? From a stop light to the speed limits kills?

On a performance sled site you are claiming that doing a 0-60 or whatever run on an entrance ramp kills people? If guys here are that shitty of drivers in cars how the hell do they ride a snowmobile? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s also good to have the option when overtaking. Funny how when the Prius was the only choice the anti ev crowd loved to laugh at their anemic performance. Now ev’s are performance cars with decent range , suddenly it doesn’t matter. This car feels like the future, I hope the Silverado is as impressive.

revkevsdi Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 I find it interesting that anti ev people already focus on travel charging. Most people gas up or charge locally 90% of the time. So even if every away charge is one hour for an ev Vs 10 minutes for ice vehicles, you end up saving time as well as money with an ev.

SkisNH Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Interesting how the ev owners are at odds with the CEO of the company manufacturing the darn things....if he says it's an eye opener; I believe him much more than a Douche bragging on a snowmobile forum.

The CEO is right. Ev’s can be challenging to charge in places. They definitely aren’t for everyone. If you are too stupid to download apps and plan a trip then keep away from them until there are chargers everywhere. But how much respect would you have for someone that says snowmobiles are no good in the mountains because there aren’t any gas stations? At the moment Ev’s have become something a lot of right wing people hate. It’s like climate change or believing Trump won the election, no amount of common sense will sway them. But who fucking cares? There are 2 million people waiting for that rediculous looking cybertruck, a long line up for the Silverado and with battery tech improving regulary they are the future.

EV’s that adopts the Tesla Network and connector will have a much easier time.

Electric vehicle sales hit a record high in the second quarter, according to a new analysis from Cox Automotive. Almost 300,000 new battery-electric vehicles were sold between April and June this year. The 48.4% increase was more than any previous quarter since modern-day EVs first came on the market in 2010.
