Just back your Hellcat in and lay the charging cable under the car. Tell them it's the only way to get better than 15 mpg AND beat a prius off the line

Every gallon of gasoline is subsidized by the US government so those pointing at electric power for vehicles are being hypocrites. We have subsidized oil for decades.

Could you elaborate? Also, what type of tax credit did you get when you purchased? I've purchase two new vehicles in the last two years and got zero tax credita foe it.

And when I use gas, 14% of that gallon comes from the Middle East. When I use electric power, 100% of it is USA made, or harnessed from the sun as I have panels on the house.

Where do you think the coal for those electric power plants comes from?

"The United States is a net exporter of coal. However, some coal is still imported, mostly for power plants on the eastern and southern coasts of the country, where it is cheaper to ship in coal by sea from South America than transport it from mines in the northern and western United States." LINK
