Reference :- Sky weatherboy , Rowan Dean , laughed at the unreliability of electric vehicles .

 Reference :- Much to Rowan's amusement , General Motors has recalled thousands of electric vehicles . 

Thanks for making us laugh Rowan . Your brow has been rather furrowed of late , so it was good to watch you grin .   This recall story of yours reminds me of the time when your comrade , Chris Kenny , laughed at an electric police car that couldn't pursue a felon because it's battery was low on charge . Mr Kenny's logic was clear , since  there has never been an occasion when a petrol driven police car couldn't continue a chase because it ran out of fuel .... at least not that I have heard . 

Anyway  Rowan , you tell us that General Motors has had to recall 73,000 electric vehicles with faulty batteries .  That certainly  proves the assertion that electric vehicles are a joke fostered by the green left.

Ken junior tells me that General Motors also recently recalled 3.4 million conventional trucks and SUVs with dangerous faults .  And he tells me that in 2014 alone there were more than 550 recalls worldwide of 52 million petrol and diesel powered vehicles .  

 That sure does sound like a lot of recalls to me .   But I doubt it reflects on the reliability of petrol or diesel vehicles .  I reckon most of those recalls would be due to battery failures as well .  As we all know  , the battery has long been the Achilles' heel of the automobile . 

Keep smiling . 

Your comrade , Ken .
