Do they really think they will get away with these EV cars?  We have a 2020 car.  It gets 41 on the highway.  City driving is much less.  Even adding that stop-start technology doesn't add what they claimed.

Wait until there are power outages with EV cars.  And garage fires.  And the screaming starts about battery life, prices and disposal.
"I must not fear.  Fear is the mind-killer.  Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. 
I will face my fear.  I will permit it to pass over me and through me.  And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.  Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain." Frank Herbert, Dune
