If it’s from a gas generator on a trailer I’m gonna laugh

Of course it is

For 5 years or 60K. Then you need a really long extension cord.

LMAO!

I believe so too. Look at an ICE vehicle. Normally it's a sensor etc that goes bad. EV's are nothing but a bucket of sensors.

ICE vehicles are buckets of sensors controlling a complicated motor. EVs are the same except with a simple motor.

Some day your Camaro will break down in the Dacks and they will send a Rivian tow truck to tow you to a museum to fix it.

BEV's are currently the best alternative to ICE's for several reasons. But I think that the best long term solution is HEV's (Hydrogen Electric Vehicles). Here's a good analysis of the plus's and minus's of HEV's.
Hydrogen Fuel Cell Cars. Everything you need to know

I don't think so, Most of the infrastructure for BEVs is already built out, and BEVs are gonna all good for the electric industry. Hydrogen will require an entire new infrastructure. Maybe if they can place electric powered hydrogen generators at every Seven Eleven then hydrogen will happen, but otherwise not. Hydrogen is the fuel of the future and always will be,

MY neighbor caught a TPMS light on his Tesla. They put the car on a flatbed and took it away. Those things don't even come with a jack or a spare.

The only thing that makes an ICE motor complicated started whenever they hooked up sensors to them.

None of us will be around if and when that ever happens.
