My son has a turbo V-6 in a Ford F-150. He blew the head gasket accelerating to get onto the interstate. It cost him $2,600 to get the head gasket replaced. He said they all are phasing out V-8's due to government regulations on gas mileage. I told him to drive like an older person so it won't get blown again. It is one thing for the government to subsidize the electric car industry and another to make gasoline mileage go up so high that the gasoline vehicles are no good anymore for towing or even driving. How do you tow something with a V-6 like a travel trailer or a boat? Electrics are not going to be ready by 2035 regardless of what the government wants. Electric prices have to come down, charging time and range have to go up. Also, the GRID has to be able to handle all the charging. Fix the grid first, more nukes is the only real answer, other than more natural gas and coal power plants.
