  1. I love that advances in EVs are being made. I hate that crazy (and possibly mendacious) people are trying to push EV usage beyond all reason. I think there could be a lot of benefit for the environment if small, 1- or 2-seat EVs for personal transportation over relatively short (within a few miles') distance grew in popularity. Enough to get you to the hardware store and back, or to make a run to the hardware and grocery stores in one go. If you had your own little wind and solar going on at your place, you could stretch a dollar in the long run by slowly "refueling" your EV over 24- or 48-hour periods. Maybe when the sun isn't shining, you have to spend a little more time on your stationary bike, charging the batteries! That'd be very practical for running small errands and making appointments, assuming the distances are relatively short and the trips are relatively infrequent. Everyday work vehicle? No way. Delivery vehicle? No. Courier service? Maybe. You can outfit a lot of e-bikes pretty cheaply. There's so much that could be done with common-sense, light-weight, short-range EVs, without trying to ram them down people's throats. I can see them growing more popular, quite naturally. We'd probably have a huge market in smaller EVs if the auto industry weren't sucking up all the oxygen (i.e., lithium). There are also applications for lead-acid batteries in EVs. If you're only going 10 miles round-trip, you wouldn't even need lithium batteries, or have to deal with their dangers. We've known how to make and safely use lead-acid batteries for many decades.
