I am seriously looking at the 2025/2026 Toyota EV's.  600 mile range and  10 minute charging according to Toyota.

So, the short answer is you don't drive one...

Trapped by court case, Trump turns Big Apple into his political playground
By Ben Whedon


Former President Donald Trump is expected to spend much of the next two months in New York City while he attends his criminal trial, a development that has forced him to reimagine political campaigning to match his unprecedented circumstances.

Since the trial began earlier this month, he has begun campaigning throughout New York City with the intensity of a competitive mayoral candidate, despite the Big Apple’s status as a Democratic bastion.

Pinning him to his hometown is Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who has charged Trump with 34 counts of falsifying business records in connection with a 2016 payment Trump’s then-attorney, Michael Cohen, made to Stormy Daniels. Trump has pleaded not guilty and contends that the case is part of a broader political witch hunt designed to derail his 2024 presidential campaign.

Judge Juan Merchan has ordered that the former president attend the trial and previously rejected his request to attend oral arguments at the Supreme Court on Thursday over his claims to enjoy presidential immunity in an unrelated case.

Lukashenka Says Dozens Of Russian Nukes Deployed in Belarus

Radio Free Europe 4/25/2024

Authoritarian ruler Alyaksandr Lukashenka said that "several dozen Russian nuclear weapons" were deployed in Belarus, a move that has raised concerns in the West that Moscow's war against Ukraine could spread.

Speaking at the All-Belarusian People's Assembly in Minsk that was broadcast live on YouTube on April 25, Lukashenka, a key ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, said the gathering had unanimously adopted a new military doctrine that considers the deployment of Russian nuclear weapons on Belarusian soil as a strategic deterrent.

Belarus has provided logistical support to Russia since it launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Since then, Moscow has moved tactical nuclear weapons into Belarus -- the first relocation of such warheads outside Russia since the fall of the Soviet Union.

NATO has called the move "dangerous and irresponsible."

Then there's the cobalt.  An EV typically needs 6 to 12 kg of the stuff - source:  https://www.carwow.co.uk/blog/what-is-cobalt-used-for-in-elecrtic-cars#gref



Ev companies are getting away with using cobalt. 1/2 the Teslas made no longer use cobalt.

How much cobalt is in a Tesla car?
roughly 3% Cobalt
The cheaper Model Y cars (2 wheel drive) use LFP batteries that contain no Cobalt. Half the cars that Tesla make use the LFP chemistry. The remaining batteries Tesla use contain roughly 3% Cobalt by weight. The Cobalt in batteries is infinitely recyclable.Dec 18, 2023

"If substantiated, the alleged arrangements would constitute some of the closest known financial links between a relative of President Joe Biden and a foreign government."

You mean other than his son and himself???
