Mine got called away at $12.82 when it was in the 14's. 

I have no problem with EV's, I always liked the TESLA's.  There should be a market for them and the act of producing them is needed to make the tech better over time.

that said - what I don't like is artificially forcing them on the population i.e. all cars produced have to be EV's by 2032 or something.  

I think you let the market work on its own - as the EV's get better,  the tech gets better etc, they will naturally start to supplant some ICE cars over time - but trying to force artificially never works well  

my wife has a hybrid Pacifica minivan, I like that because on both electric and gas you can get over 550 miles. On Electric only you get about 38 miles, which isn't much, but if we are mostly driving around town we get crazy gas mileage.  The van has a 16 gallon gas tank, on our last fill up we got almost 1600 miles on that tank of gas, that's nearly 100 miles a gallon!  I plug the hybrid into 110, which is fine because it's only a 13 KW battery so charges easily overnight with that - our KWH electric rate is 7 cents, so charging it fully overnight is about $1 i.e. 0.7 cents x 13.  You get the very high gas mileage and no range anxiety if you go on a long trip since it will just use the gas engine.
