Battery based electric vehicles of today and tomorrow.

A few years ago we went to an indoor go-kart track with electric go-karts. It was me, my kid, my friend, and his kid. That's it. The place was empty. After several laps, all of a sudden my car and the other dad's car took off like lightning. We looked over at the guy controlling the track and he gave us the thumbs-up.... he'd taken the limiters off remotely. It was weird accelerating so fast and only hearing a little whine from the drivetrain. No engine noise. Really fun.

It is amazing when regulators take limits off, what we can acheive

Could this be an indication that future max speed limits on the road are controlled by remote means. Maybe also taxes based on mileage of the vehicles will be comming?

Yep & yep.
Nothing would shock me with the waves of regulation you see in the last year.
Did you know that planned traffic jams are being proposed to encourage, or better put “force” people onto public transportation?

Wyoming already taxes EV's based on mileage. Taxes are set at a vehicle getting 15MPG. So, no EV for me.

Hey that all rhymes!

Seriously?

Got a reference to that story?

And what will the environmentally oriented think of that plan? Will it be more justification for EVs?

Wow! 15MPG? That’s a shocker!
Kinda flies in the face of the guys claiming they are the equivalent of ~30MPG.
If Buttigeig goes the way of Wyoming, no EV for me, either!

Just heard it yesterday for the first time on radio news at the top of the hour.

Well, it's kind of expected. Wyoming is a major fossil fuel producer that will never be on board with the EV bandwagon.

So to own/drive an EV in Wyoming is like flying an Antifa flag on your front yard.
