Took the Plunge EV

Considering the fact that ev's don't emit an exhaust tone, it should be noted that they are embossed with one; therefore, it's technically not fake, just artificial.

An example of a "fake" exhaust noise would be like a Toyota Camry playing a Top Fuel dragster soundtrack at every stop sign or light.

Interesting thoughts. So I dug a bit deeper. The main difference between the 2 is fake means with the intent to deceive. So if your car has no engine, but you want people to believe it does, you would employ fake exhaust sound. Which was made artificially.

The Professor on Gilligan's Island used the bicycle to power things....Couldn't someone rig up a bicycle to run a pump to bring up fuel from underground tanks.
What was the deal with the Professor there anyway? The guy could make a radio out of a coconut but couldn't fix a hole in a boat ???

Come to think of it, who would leave a bicycle on an island? If it wasn't already on the island when they got there, why would they have had a bicycle on a tour boat ?

I thought it was a bamboo bike they built from scratch? Its been a long time so I forget some of the details.

As for EV's in general, batteries filling off the grid is laughable as a solution, especially when one considers we have hydrogen fuel cell technology with 75+ years of proven capability...and you get water as a byproduct.

My issue isn't with ev cars. It's with people thinking they're saving the world and they're simply not. The hate for gas has blinded people from the truth. If we put half the development focus on hydrogen that's been wasted on ev we would decades ahead.

How would hydrogen development be any further ahead? Nearly all of commercial hydrogen production comes from fossil fuels anyway. I only know (personally) a handful of people driving electric cars, and none of them were interested in saving the planet. They wanted something that saved money in monthly operating costs, and got it. Electricity is cheap around here, gasoline isn't.
