Electric Vehicle Vanity - September 15, 2017

It seems like everyone who needs lottery tickets and cigarettes has a perfect excuse by stopping at the gas station. Electric vehicle drivers must be shameless for there is no excuse to be there. They are confident and undeterred by range anxiety. And they can show off their pride with an EV license plate.

Then I saw this car with an EV plate “vrooming” away, with not one but two exhaust pipes. Oh, yes, my EV plate peeve: hybrids, which I see merely as electric vehicles with “training wheels”, can have them, too.
