@johannpiber Our government first promotes diesel cars now you are punished and want you to drive electric. The Netherlands love to be the first with everything and tell people it is the EU law. They also tell us that about gas. They do not want us to use it anylonger. How to heat all houses? A heating system will cost 10K euro at least and I am not willing to save for that. Besides the house is build in 1927. If I am still alive I spent 6-8 months a year in the cold or live abroad. Somewhere where it's hot. ππ

You don't need to do what the government says, do you? If they buy me an electric car I will certainly use it, but if not I will use my old Diesel car as long as it works ;)
Besides that, I don't trust gas - we have district heating, which is also gas powered, but there's no gas in my home ;)

@johannpiber We don't have district heating and yes I need sooner or later because if it comes to apps I can no longer use it, if it comes to gas they shut you off and if it comes to the car you can no longer buy it or get sued and banned from most places.
Forgot about the dial connection.. That was the last time I had a great connection, everything worked fine and I didn't need each year a heavier tool/apps/windows to join. β€οΈ
I think, if they ban stinky cars from the inner cities it's good, and also I wouldn't let normal cars drive in nature reserves.
When electric cars will get cheaper and you can reload the batteries everywhere I will certainly buy one, but now they are still too expensive and there are not enough places to reload the batteries.
I hated the dial-in connection and I was so glad, when I got the cable at home. So, I cannot imagine how you must feel with your !DERANGED bad connection.

@johannpiber It will at least take 20 years or longer before an electric car is affordable but also second hands are. Many depend on a car. Need it to get at work, to drive over an hour to it and back home. Less people would do the environment good too. Cities are not the dirtiest places because of cars only and fabric a new one is bad for the environment too. We waste way too much plus it is proved that since the 90's cars not became cleaner at all. Driving style plays a big role too. I remember there was a time trucks could not drive faster as 80 km/hour. Now I hardly see those trucks and wonder when that rule was stopped. They pass me by with 120 km where 80 is allowed. And what about all those maniacs driving 140-160 on roads where. 80 is allowed and people walk and bicycle? I doubt they will drive slower. Perhaps it is a great help to humans, animals and nature if we all can not drive faster as 80-100. We even might have less stress and driving can be fun again. I owned an oldsmobile (1970) it was relaxing to drive it. 80 was its max. π
My wife and I we do need even two cars, although we are working for the same company.
I do also like to drive slow and it is really relaxing, as you said, but especially our curvy mountain roads make so much fun driving faster than allowed ;) But as said, as soon as I can afford an electric car I will buy one.

@johannpiber Let me know if you have one. The positive thing is you can use your socket at home. The company has no load possibility. What I saw on the highways is not enough either. Only allowed to use it 1 hour is not enough if the battery is empty. It will be a long journey if you have to load for an hour for each 1-2 hours driving... I could write a book during these hours but over a distance of 1700 km it means I will never arrive. Great if you live in the city. But if I lived in the city I would have online shopping service delivery and could walk. Enjoy the mountains and stay safe. π
It will certainly take a few more years until I will have an electric car, because it is just as you say: Not enough places to reload, and I cannot reload it at home, because I'm living in an apartment.
If you need to drive 1700 km you might have to take one more week just to drive and reload the batteries ;)
I wish you a great day @wakeupkitty π
