What people get wrong about EVs
While the adoption of electric vehicles is increasing, some people, even those who want to get one, are held back. They say they can’t find one that meets their needs. But people often overestimate what they need their next car to do.

Herzberz and his colleagues conducted their study, published last week in the journal Nature Energy, by contacting almost 900 people split roughly evenly between Germany and the U.S. about their perception of EVs. They asked each person how often they make trips of different distances, and then asked them how much mileage they thought they’d need from an EV battery to complete each task. The researchers found that respondents significantly underestimated – by as much as 30 percent – how many of their daily tasks an EV could support.

A Few Thoughts From My Rambling Mind
I never thought I would see the day that I considered this nation to be anti-humanitarian, a nation that cares more for wealth than for people, but today I believe we have reached that stage in the development … or rather un-development … of the country. We can no longer hold our heads up proudly and say, “I am a U.S. citizen”, or as some would say, “I am an American.” Nothing to take pride in there, thanks largely to fanaticism – gun fanatics, religious fanatics, and wealth fanatics for whom billions of dollars is still not enough.
Literally the only thing that matters to Republican members of Congress today is re-election. When I read that Republicans running for re-election in states or districts where the majority voted for Democrats in 2020 refuse to comment on the outcome of the Dobbs v Jackson decision, then I think…

♫ You’ll Think Of Me ♫
For some reason, this song flew onto my radar last night and I was surprised to find that I had never played it here on Filosofa’s Word before. I’m not a fan of country music, with a few exceptions, but this song is what they call a ‘crossover’ song, having charted in three catagories: #1 Country, #2 Adult Contemporary, and #6 Adult Top 40.
Written by Darrell Brown, Dennis Matkosky and Ty Lacy, the song grew out of Lacy’s emotions surrounding a recent breakup. According to SongFacts …

Tras la lluvia, salgo, feliz y agradecido, al bosque, a la montaña, al parque con sus calzadas, a los rincones y a las calles, con la intención de admirar el cielo nublado, las frondas de los árboles y los troncos humedecidos, la corriente ondulada del río, las rocas, los helechos y la tierra ennegrecida, para así dar lectura a la naturaleza, a la vida que palpita en mí y en cada expresión. Estoy acostumbrado a escribir y a leer documentos y libros, y soy, por lo mismo, artista de las letras con aroma a papel y a tinta; pero me encanta andar descalzo y hundir los pies en el fondo arenoso de los riachuelos, en el barro, hasta sentir el pulso de la creación que, milagrosamente, se conecta a mi ser. Interpreto los mensajes de la vida en cada…
