New SRT Viper Slowly Slithers Out of the Shadows

When people talk about electric vehicles and how they might fare for others, the other person's context needs to come into view. Last summer, I was driving through a beachside town on the Adriatic coast in Central Italy.  I couldn't believe what I was seeing, so I had to pull over and take a photo  This is evidently an electrified Fiat.  I don't know what this person's parking situation is, but it looks like they've got it parked on a narrow apron, are blocking the sidewalk, and the electricity is being borrowed from somewhere inside the house through a long cord. Unless a person in Italy has a detached home that has a garage or is in a condo tower that has garages at its base, they may not have a real tidy solution for electrifying the car while it's parked and they aren't doing something else or are sleeping.  A person could be in the exact same situation in the United States and Canada.   If you've got an EV and have a garage or carport, you can charge it as needed nightly if there are outlets available.  A friend of mine who lives in a Southern California suburb and has an 1,800 square foot house with a two car garage has 2 Teslas being charged while parked in the garage.  The same could be true in a personal garage somewhere in Europe.  But without the garage situation established and a vehicle yet to be decided on ... and if it looks anything like the above photo ... I don't expect to be buying an electric car this next time. 

I couldn't believe this.  Why was the truck even moving into an active runway or taxiway?  This is very sad and they gave some background on the two pilots who lost their lives, both of whom were fairly young and had their lives ahead of them.

Crazy pricing $49,879 - $17,000 costco discount = $32,879

SHM is a dead plan walking, but no future imho.

This never made sense in the first place.  Honda scrapping all their EV plans will probably come back to haunt them in 5-10 years when the Chinese take their market share.
