but that's just it.... the reason it was done that way was due to complaints about daytime closures.

The problem is that no one ever wants to pay for anything and they never want to be inconvenienced. There is one project going on near me where they are only allowed to do work after 10pm and before 6am, so they end up paying a bunch extra to have overnight workers.

Fuel cells have an even smaller refueling network than EVs do.. At least in an EV.. if I need to plug in to a 110v outlet and wait... I can. Try doing that with a Fuel Cell.

I spent some time in the Canyon recently (not driving it, just sitting) and I find that truck very attractive.

Wasn't that the whole point of MQB? By making the platform super flexible and spreading the costs out further, they would be able to do updates sooner. My guess is that someone in management saw the cost savings of MQB and decided to just keep the refresh cycle at the normal pace and pocket the savings instead. And who does 7 year model refreshes anymore? Even the W-Bodies didn't go that long.

What point is it if the gas tax is a per gallon or percent rate?

EVs are not causing a shortfall today, but the increase in fuel economy in vehicles across the board is. I'm driving a V6 8-speed dodge durango this week. Highway I'm getting 26mpg. 20 years ago when the gas tax was last adjusted, I would have been getting 18 mpg tops in the same vehicle.

How else do you propose to fund the roads? Why should EVs get a free ride?

if we could have an honest talk about raising the fuel taxes, gradually, to appropriately cover our crumbling infrastructure, we wouldn't need these experimental ideas. Those driving EVs and even PEVs, yes, should probably have to get taxed per mile.

I hate the lexus predator mouth styling they have now.
