I suspect that it is a conspiracy to eliminate petrol powered cars in favor of virtue-signalling and simpler to control electric cars. A diesel or gas car has a goodly range and swift refueling. A battery car takes almost an hour to fill, and you can only go less than 300 miles. Range becomes 250 miles in five hours in your volt, but I could drive 400 miles in five hours in the E300D, and still not have to stop, but to widdle. That diesel had a 650 mile range before it needed fuel at 80mph. For my $0.02, electric cars are only good for around town or to the next large city, not for family vacations and trips.
