If performance was really the goal, electric cars do 0-60 mph in like 2.1 seconds. Nah he wanted a car that goes brrrr xD

Ya exactly! My cousin Kevin has the money. He can do what ever he wants with it and that is what he wanted. He isn't 85 like his dad. He wants to still have the powah :D

There is no sound system on them stock.  It's an add-on.

There is no denying the Hemi has power.  And the sound they make is music to the ears.

Oh, I would too!  But driving something like that makes well over 1,000 bhp, it also drinks fuel like mad.

Even though my brothers cannot afford that, my cousin Kevin can.

If he ever decides to go that route and needs a co-pilot for a drag-n-drive, I'm in!  lol

Australia has been running into issues with how long it takes to charge some electric cars and limited charge stations:

https://www.msn.com/en-ca/money/topstories/why-many-australian-electric-vehicle-owners-are-getting-fed-up/ar-BB1pQb34

Right now Australia is in Winter so of course Charge times are slower but people are saying that guy was HOGGING the Charger even though it takes his car a long time to charge and charging there is free (unlike here in Canada. How is it there in the USA?)

Charging sucks:


Yet they say slower charging is better than faster:


So they are suggested people buy themselves portal chargers:

As I've been saying all along.  The number one thing is that there is nowhere near enough charging station infostructure to support plugin EV's to begin with.  The range is poor, even on a good day.  250 miles or 400 kilometers max range is not good when it takes a super-fast charger over an hour to recharge.  And a 220-volt home charger will take over 8 hours.  Then factor in extreme heat or cold, it will cut that range nearly in half while almost doubling recharge time.  And has no one given any thought of the demands it will put on our already overwhelmed electrical grid if even just one twentieth of a nation would adopt an EV?

The cost of these cars is still out of reach for the average household income levels.  And I'm not talking statistically either.  I'm talking realistically.  There are millions of people out there that can't afford to buy a brand-new car.  Let alone, properly maintain the old car they may have now.

100% My thoughts as well! It is absolutely rediculous but we already know from the last how many years that the ones calling the shots making all the decisions think everyone can afford what ever they can afford or else we are bums that just do not try hard enough. The figure us "bums" just need a little push and creating dead lines and mandatory regulations they figure will be that push.

Oh, and just to pour a little more salt on to the wound.  EV batteries have a rather short life span.  They are made of the same tech as your cell phone battery.  After the first year, they begin to degrade.  And by the 5th year, charge compacity is cut by more than 1/3rd.  There is no warrantee or service plan to cover the replacement of the battery.  So the vehicle owner is responsible for replacing it.  And get this, more than half of the cost of a new EV today is the cost of the battery alone.  Users can expect to pay $15,000 to $25,000 USD to replace a full EV battery.  That's not a typo, look it up.
