I have been a avid EV promoter since 1985
Previously, I had to Midnight Engineer my EV.

Elon Musk has shown that it can be done in a practical way for most of us with some HP to boot !

Keep in mind, those of us in the wintery north could not drive these EV's with "HEAT" as doing so would discharge a battery before we went anywhere. Electric produced heat is the least efficient method available. Unless you were to use a "gas" heater like the old VW's had in the 60's or perhaps propane for heat ?

So those of us in the north will need to use a hydrogen fuel cell powered EV or equivalent to generate some heat with the electric.

I am just glad to see alternatives to direct oil based engines. A monopoly on one type of locomotion has cost us all dearly in many ways for some time now.

I applaud BMW, Tesla, even Nissan for their efforts for alternatives.
