    Wow, thanks for the heads up. Nah, I don't go on a weekend road trip so I can spend one whole evening catering to my damned finicky car.

    Not to mention the extreme fire hazard these batteries are... AND not to mention the poor people of the DR Congo who mine all the cobalt for these batteries like slaves...😠

      I see you haven't driven in USA. There - diesel is reserved for trucks. You will hardly find any rental offering one. And even if they did, it would be stupid to take it, as you wouldn't be able to top it up on any gas station - just in larger ones on bigger roads like interstate serving trucks.
      I live in Europe, and my daily driver is BMW X1 xDrive Diesel.

    Whilst you're gas guzzler will get you further on a tank that involves a five minute refill, be prepared to spend an hour or more while your battery recharges. Assuming you don't have to wait for others to complete charging theirs. And hope that the charger hasn't been vandalised by yet another climate change denier. 🤦

      Climate change? I thought the proper term was global warming? What's the next word when Climate Change fails? Much like racism, homophobia etc the left is running out of buzzwords 😂

    Imam Mahdi Muhammad Qasim emphasises on the fact that we should avoid Shirk and its forms because this is the only way we can achieve success in this world and the hereafter. This message is clear for the Muslim ummah.
