[ Snip ] Mass evacuation is impossible with a high population of EV'S. Everyone would get a certain distance, then what. Ratty would just run i think? I wouldn't make it to the first BEV charging station.

The law of unintended (maybe?) consequences... The 'smart meters' here in Florida, if you 'opt in' for a few dollars paid to you from the power company, can be used to switch off high load devices like pool pumps, refrigerators, air conditioners, for short (they say imperceptible) periods if demand exceeds supply. It is not clear to me how they do that with a standard distribution board but apparently they can. However, I would imagine that they could decide that they don't like you using your electric car - so it won't charge at home or at a public recharge point. Don't tell me politicians have not thought of that. The poison dwarf currently London's mayor is having 'car free days' at vast cost. It would be really easy to stop charging for a week on all electric vehicles that had been driven into or within London in the last 6 months. I imagine tolls could be collected by setting the electricity charge higher if you have been in 'restricted zones' It is also of course inline with the intent of Agenda 21 of conurbations with very limited travel between them. Got to end now - off to clean my tinfoil hat You’re onto perhaps the ultimate governmental motivation for electric vehicles Naut. In a future where all vehicles require plugging into the grid, they can decide if you or an entire region can charge or not. After all, they know best right 🤬

But I am sure that "they" (the self-proclaimed Masters of the Universe) have plans for us too.

But I am sure that "they" (the self-proclaimed Masters of the Universe) have plans for us too. Indeed. The Agenda21 plan is for small family farms to be bought up - death taxes were useful for this - and turned into large scale industrial agricultural combines. Cannot have independent people who are not reliant upon the government that makes them difficult to control unlike the more malleable urban snowflake sheep who feel it is really green not to own private transport and in any case electric vehicles with power coming from a domestic plug need only have 100 miles range at most" after all who needs to drive more than 30 miles a day?". The millenial townies have been brainwashed already as the early prep to the next step of Agenda 21 - then along came Trump.

"Conurbation!" Still learning new words even this late in life. I love it. Thanks, Mr. Moboy! Now I know what to call what's happening in Texas with Houston, Austin, San Antonio, Waco and Dallas-Fort Worth.

"A Very Fast, Very Safe, Very SLIMM Nuclear Reactor
"Fully passive operation with no single point failure, cooled by natural circulation of sodium during operation and after shutdown, high negative temperature reactivity feedback and redundant control and safety shutdown, walk-away safe, long life without refueling, factory fabricated, assembled and sealed, shipped to the construction site by rail, truck, or barge, installed below ground to avoid direct impact by missiles or aircraft, and mounted on seismic oscillation bearings to resist earthquakes.”"www.forbes.com/sites/jamesconca/2019/08/31/a-very-fast-very-safe-very-sllim-nuclear-reactor/#69c3f3312c5c
