    Found an interesting video posing the EV as a solution to the energy crisis (since I have too few posts I cannot post a link to the video, but simply go to youtube and search "bradfregger" and go to his channel, clicking on "An Energy Solution"

    I wondered a few items in regards to making this a mass movement: Would there be a reluctance on the part of the consumer to switch after a lifetime of using combustion engine vehicles?
    Can this be used to travel long distances and reliably?
    Would Tesla, Chevy, or Toyota attempt to lead the trend?

    What do you think?

    nbrack,

    :welcome: to PRIUSchat.

    Here you go:



    Nice find. Although for the most part you are "preaching to the
    choir" here, the video is worth sharing. The presentation is definitely
    at the freshman, 100 level. We have posters here who are most certainly
    at the 400+ level, and could teach the "course" if they wanted to.

    This could be very educational. Let's see what happens...
