It seems that nowadays, one of the big problems is that we put ourselves into situations in which we trap ourselves. For example, literally being stuck inside the house, or if we live somewhere and we feel like we cannot leave. For example, let us assume you live in downtown LA, and you don’t have a car, you might feel stuck in downtown LA, with difficulty to venture further.

Another reason why I think perhaps an electric car is bad for freedom is that with an electric car, you’re either stuck in the immediate vicinity of your home, or at around charging stations. A life of maximal freedom is probably a hybrid car, or some sort of plug-in hybrid car. Even a plug-in hybrid car doesn’t seem necessary, just a standard hybrid car seems to suffice. The great benefit of a hybrid car is that you don’t have to fill up your tank as frequently, and you could also just use the standard cheap gasoline. I don’t think it matters how rich you are, I don’t think anyone likes the idea of paying for premium gas.

Also, cars that require lots of gasoline to run are bad. Cars which are not gas efficient mean that you have to go to the gas station more frequently, and it also takes up longer to fill up your tank. This is bad, even the other day filling up the tank of Cindy’s mom which I am borrowing, it took too long.
