Oh the fun that the chargers in your grocery store parking lots are run on diesel generators. Oh that's right, we have DEF fuel. :lol:

That's the thing, this won't be about being green, it'll be about being what's cheap and convenient.

Virtue signalling councils and governments will keep pulling the Green card, but at least we can vote against that when they dig themselves too deep a hole.

Nah, I'm not leaving myself out of the ignorant brigade....at times.

Anyone offering EV recharging via diesel genset is either doing it at sky-high prices or they are losing money.

For true. Clickbait anti-EVers have picked photos of the very few sites which have a diesel genset as an emergency backup and use that to infer all charger sites are making all their power that way.

However, coming here and admitting to owning an EV is as well received as walking into a biker bar on Friday night wearing a rainbow gay pride jacket.

If one wasn’t afraid to enter the clubhouse on open bar night, anyone was welcome.
