  1. Can’t stand it when people think electric cars are the cleanest. The cleanest car is the one that doesn’t get scrapped.

  2. Runar Andersen - Yes and no. Buying an purely electric car has serious limitations. I’m fine with an electric motor as long as there is a gasoline generator to extend the range if need be in the car.

  3. Runar Andersen - I work in automotive manufacturing. I get what you are saying. I’m not sure exactly how “clean” an electric car is suppose to be. To me the cleanest car is the one that’s not regarded as disposable. I live in the States. I do drive well over 1000 miles on occasion. Have to get to the cruise ships. They are not close to where I live. Last trip I took was 1200 miles ONE WAY. Electric cars have their place. Now Ford is making a hybrid Explorer. If it can run on the battery alone for at least 20 miles then I’ll probably get one. Considering for me it’s almost free.
