Feds Tighten Emissions Rules, Making Life Tougher for Gas Vehicles (caranddriver.com)

The EPA said the new pollution rules will reduce cumulative carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 7.2 billion metric tons by 2055.


FYI, that reduction over the next 32 yeats cumulatively is about one years worth (a bit more).  And this would only be true if all that actually happens.  Ergo, this would be a pretty modest step.  As I keep saying, there is no plan out there because any analysis on any plan would show how ludicrously inadequate and expensive the plan would be.  And by 2050, half the vehicles on the road would still be ICE types.

there is a sporty car thread buried somewhere

I'd pick the Porsche mostly because of the looks

the M2 price is perhaps less $$ than my chevy

they are both the right color

Those are both nice-looking, way better than the average EV.

This small curbside EV charger can deliver 200 miles of range in 13 minutes (electrek.co)

Fast DC chargers are great, but they're way more expensive than slow AC chargers. Which means that for the same money you can deploy perhaps 100 AC chargers or 1 DC charger, and it's far from obvious that deploying 1 DC charger is better for EV owners than 100 AC chargers. Imagine if there were an AC charger between every two curbside parking spots, you could park anywhere and charge while you're running errands, or at home overnight, etc.

Hybrid cars now have 'very few compromises' says Ford executive — and sales are booming - Autoblog
Hybrid cars now have 'very few compromises' says Ford executive — and sales are booming - Autoblog

In all this "rush" to EVs, maybe folks should take a step back and consider this alternative as a worthy and practicable goal.  If we lived in a detached house, I'd be interested in a plug in hybrid with say 35 miles of EV range.  It would take some calculating to figure effective "mpgs" on that vehicle depending on driving habits.  I think, for us, we drive more than 35 miles say once a month, maybe a trip of 400 miles, maybe 1,000.  Our current hybrid does about 33 mpg highway, so call it 30 gallons of gas, once a month, and then nearly no gas for the rest of the month.
