AAA can charge up members with discharged electric vehicles. After charging, your vehicle will have up to 10 miles of range (depending on the vehicle) to get to a charging station.10 miles isn't enough to get to a lot of places on I-95, and unless I had a car that would plug into 110 volts, then even getting somewhere might not be enough.
The housemate wouldn't want me to go into great detail, but we made these decisions based on our ages and our (mostly her) medical issues. All our capital is tied up in investments that represent our sole income apart from the pittance from the CPP.The car is her baby. For a short while, all too brief, it was what we bonded over, spending our summers running the nostalgia drag racing circuit until she got too sick to drive it (you can't carry oxygen in the car) and ultimately too sick to even leave the house very often. I keep it in excellent running condition for her, run it often enough so nothing seizes up, show it around a little. Yeah, it's costly to drive (about $1.15 a mile) but as long as it's on the road, with current plates, she can feel like her life doesn't just consist of TV and sleep.I'd like to do more. I'd like to do some things differently. But right now my remit is to make her life as comfortable as I am able, and make plans for a future we are both dreading.
There is/was a movement to require EV's to make noises while stopped, so blind people could hear them, if so, why not make the sound of an idling ICE vehicle followed by the sounds of it accelerating?
I don't want to be in the situation of being on I-95 after dark, in a rainstorm, watching my battery (or gas gauge) dropping towards zero, not knowing where the closest OPEN gas or electric charging place is. It's bad enough knowing if I run out of gas, AAA can bring me a gallon or so, but until AAA can bring me enough kilowatts of power to get me to the nearest charging station without towing me, I'll be reluctant to get a pure Electric vehicle.
Where I lived in northeastern Maine, our electricity came from our coop. We even elected our neighbors as officers. The coop got the power from Canada (we were on the border) and it was pretty cheap. Customer service was excellent.
Windsor is in Ontario, Canada, The Ford Windsor Engine Plant is a "Block and a Bridge from downtown Detroit".
Actually, roadside emergency charging is a doable thing. No worries. Getting better all the time, too.

Rot in hell, spammer!

Yep.
It’s more like 20 minutes to get an 80% charge. The best solution is to charge at home and/or at work however.
There’s a Chinese company that has developed swappable battery EVs.
With a hybrid you’re already hauling around a few hundred pounds of excess weight in the IC motor.

The Tesla Plaid’s tech is far more advanced than Porsche’s. That includes their battery temperature control.

How do you know none of the ideas come from the design team?

Only because YOU refuse to see what the MAJOIRTY of people do.
The fastest I ever went in a car was 125 (for aboutt 10 seconds) and it was in a Sunbeam Tiger. I was not driving.
