    I was talking about pure EVs, my understanding is that the Tesla Model S representing the longer range EVs, has a comparable gas range to about a 2L I4 Kia Soul with a 12 gallon tank and takes 30 minutes to charge at a super charger where you can be in and out of a gas station within 10 minutes with the Kia Soul.
     
    Again I don't see how EVs are better for the environment, lithium batteries are not great for the environment and most places use coal power so that's just even more going against them, CO2 isn't the enemy, plants need it to respire and produce glucose.
    The only thing that EVs seem good for is maintenance cost, at least until they hit around 10 years or so and the battery cell will likely need to be replaced. There's far fewer systems to service in an EV and that's where they, in my opinion have a huge advantage over ICE vehicles. Gas cost for most clearly isn't an issue but electric is cheap for now, though if too many people get EVs I could see electricity prices rising quickly
     
    Don't get me wrong, I think for those who can should buy an EV or a hybrid. I personally don't care what someone wants to buy with their own money, that's their choice and their money and it's a tragedy that this is a position that I've seen some people stand against.
     
    I wouldn't buy a hybrid of an EV right now for the simple fact of the cost being a major barrier and being not too keen on older hybrids (the only old hybrid I'd consider would be a Chevy Volt), not really being interested in the vehicles for myself personally I see myself making 1,000 mile roadtrips in the future on occasion.

    You're working off a large assumption, you're assuming no one or almost no one takes road trips longer than the average range of EVs on the market.
    having ridden in a car for about 1,000 miles and for 13 hours, I can tell you. It would've been literal hell if the car would've been an EV.
    I'm sure there's plenty of Americans at least, who do plenty of road trips a year where an EV would've been literal hell for their trips. You're from Canada, just about as large as America, and even more spread out because there's only like 36,000,000 Canadians whereas there's 360,000,000 Americans . I'm sure plenty of Canadians take road trips and would think an EV would be hell to have for that. Thought maybe fewer Canadians on average road trip than Americans because how spread out things are that flying is more beneficial.

    I mean, why would you do that when you could just own an ICE car? Yeah hybrids wouldn't have those issues because it'd be a gas powered car 60% of the time lol
    Gas powered cars, specifically ones from Honda are rivaling fuel efficiency of a lot of hybrids

    English is somewhat closely related to it (and more so other Germanic variants) so it's to be expected many words would be similar enough to figure out since they probably decended from the same root at some point.  The same can be said about French to some degree.  That said, you have to watch out for words that seem similar but actually are totally unrelated... this can happen between any language and another.  Also, there's many modern words that (seemingly) are created in one language (usually English it seems, but that could just be my Anglo-centric view) and then dropped straight into others with little or no modification, so that could explain it as well.  Just look at the English and Russian words for "computer" for example

    and plus, America is a large. Spread out country. It's hard for a lot of people to grasp that because to them, especially Europeans. It's hard to think that you could drive 6 hours and still be in the same state, outside of France. 6 hours could put you in the middle of the next country over.
    Australia is also a fairly large country, not to the scale of America for sure. But in general the population has a little room to spread out even though the middle the country is quite dry and hard to do much of anything.

    I can't help but wonder how much of the price increases I have seen are due to the tariffs and how much is due manufacturers and/or vendors using them as an excuse to jack up the prices even further.

    I also wanted to add to what I was saying earlier that, I don't have a problem with EVs. I just don't think a government should force them en masse like some governments are doing.
     
    Pollution is an issue for some areas, I doubt the claimed global environmental impact of ICE cars, frankly if I were to start a few franchised stores and offered delivery I'd honestly consider buying a few EV cars, particularly the Bolt EV to consist of a delivery fleet for that store.
     
    For the lower costs associated with operating that fleet, I figure would justify even providing cars to the drivers to do their work. For that use case, I think EVs make a lot of sense. Far less to deal with like fleet fuel cards and such.
