Was there a reason they were drawn to the HIGH YIELD crypto "vault"? Could it have been the same thing that drew them into the HIGH YIELD speculative crypto market? I guess we'll just never know why....

And the obvious question is that if they wanted a safe storage of their money then why not put the money in somewhere like a bank. And if you want to grant them the idea that it was okay to put money into crypto but not Celsius, then why didn't they simply store the crypto on a hardware wallet?

Too wet behind the ears to understand the maxim "if it's too good to be true, it probably is" but not wet enough to prohibit them from buying tens of thousands of dollars of various cryptocurrencies and being able to navigate signing up to highly digitalised, online-only platforms....

And you don't think any of that might have to do with wishing to see a certain outcome in a trial? You think this would be the first time in history that someone felt aggrieved when an investment went south? For naive old foggies (3 out of the 4), they do seem to be surprisingly tech competent....

"Google" that should be.

Oh and trying to plead "but I read something on Goggle so I guessed it was true" has to be the icing on the cake.

These people simply thought that this was the one get quick rich scheme that was actually going to work. Pure greed.

Honestly, do not get this attitude of @molly.wiki either. One of the most basic rules of investing is do not invest more than you can afford to lose (and that is for regulated financial products not this wild west BS).

As rotten as some of their business practices are, would have much more faith in buying from Amazon who are generally far better with these sorts of issues. They know they sell some absolute cheap crap and are happy to hold their hands up if something goes wrong.

The big issue is if you buy them in-store. Once had a right palaver at Tesco because the correct, specific ones just refused to work. Obviously defective but took about 3 trips to the store to fix, with management VERY adamant that no refund would be forthcoming.

20 miles daily urban requirement. 120 mile range in winter on the cheap end vehicles (but 160+ in summer). The challenge is easily solvable if we have the will.

The issue is solved. We just need the time and money to build the infrastructure.
Most areas with non-driveway housing have very low daily mileage, which means not every car needs their own charger.

Look up Norway. Huge urban population with no driveways and yet, they are well on their way to 100% of household vehicles being electric.
Same nonsense of "heat pumps don't work in cold countries". Except in all the cold countries where they are used without a problem.

Check the replies. Those dullards are here too. New age/crystal skull types who think their WiFi router wants to do them in.

I'm not reading your articles, but since you've read them and deeply understood them, I'm sure you can neatly summarise.

EVs have cheaper:
- servicing
- fuel costs
- lifetime repair costs
So your statements about not being affordable are just nonsense.

In nearly every industrialised country, EVs are overall cheaper when accounting for the entirety of typical vehicle costs. This is proven by every scientific analysis, i.e., it is fact.

But, yes, the real concern should be for those people who want to travel 700 miles without the liberal imposition of rest breaks and satiety! What kind of #freedom is that!?

Now, let's get to the advantages of EVs:
- More efficient.
- No tailpipe emissions.
- Drastically reduced brake pad particulates.
- No localised poisoning of the air.
- Far less carbon emissions (with the possibility of near to zero carbon emissions).
- More efficient.
- No tailpipe emissions.
- Drastically reduced brake pad particulates.
- No localised poisoning of the air.
- Far less carbon emissions (with the possibility of near to zero carbon emissions).

What toxic waste are you specifically referring to? And which method of lithium mining are you referring to (because, as you obviously know, there are multiple types)?

There are plenty of vehicles on original batteries well into 6 figures of total mileage (beyond the average lifespan mileage of an EV).

Batteries are lasting longer and longer. They are easily recycled into things such as home battery storage (enabling concepts such as localised smart grids). If they do break, then they are generally easily repairable (as evidenced by the reconditioned EV batteries readily available to buy on eBay).

If you compare EV and non-EV versions of the same model of car, then there is rarely a vast difference in weights. Either way, EVs are a far more efficient use of energy given vehicle efficiency and the efficiency of the electrical generation (vs the emissions from well to wheel for an ICE vehicle).
