I talked to a friend who is a Urologist, he said in the next 10-15 years guys who drive EV cars will be developing testicular and prostate cancer. He said sitting on top of a battery that powerful, it’s inevitable.

Pay close attention to what this guy says. His friend is informed and correct.

My BIL is VP at General Motors Defense. All wheeled military vehicles are going to go EV because of the battlefield advantages over gas or diesel.. Every military defense contractor on the planet is going EV including China.

General Motors Defense hired Hendrick Motorsports of Nascar fame to build the new vehicles.

My BIL cannot give out specifics but said the batteries they are developing now will charge in just a few minutes and be a quarter of the weight and size of current batteries and 1200-1500 range will be commonplace and anyone will be able to replace them in a few minutes without any tools. He said they cannot keep up with the battery advances.

China is patening a battery that loses no charge in sub zero weather

Toyota said their 2025 models will charge in 10 minutes and have a 650 mile range and by 2028 want a 6 minute charge and a 900 mile range.

Tesla is coming out with a 25k model next year.

The main reason car co's are going EV is the labor cost is a third and parts cost is half of a ICE car. Has nothing to do with saving the environment.

Honda said they will save billions a year in warranty claims alone. No more complicated fuel, ignition, cooling, trans to go out. EV Motors have one moving part.

A client owns a large Chrysler dealership. The field rep told him when EV's take over the will only need 25% of his current techs.


As Rush Limbuagh always said "Follow the money" All about minimizing expenses and maximizing profits

That is a scary thought.
