Let guess how a transition between electric to thermal motor should be? What the driver can ask ?

1. The car dealer said I can't refuel while I sleep.
   Is that true, and is there a workaround?

2. I heard the upfront costs of filling a tank can be costly, more than the ~$7 I fill up my EV with today.
   Do you think if we all collectively start using more gas cars, the gas prices will go down?

3. The dealer also said there's this box, which has gears in it.
   I think it was called Gear...box?

What is it and do I get a warning indicator if I need to change the gear? How much do they cost?

4. I really like the complexity of the internal combustion engine. I assume it is more durable and efficient in the long term, thanks to this?
   Also, do they call it ICE because it stays nice and cool while operating? I'd love it if no heat is wasted.

5. I assume I get some fuel back to the tank when I drive downhill or slow down... but can anyone confirm?

6. Since I owned an EV, I have been reading the EV industry focused newsletter at http://evwire.com/subscribe to keep me up to date.
   I loved it, but I'm not one of the EV geeks anymore.

Does anyone know a good gas version of this? And does that industry innovate at the same pace?

7. I heard gas can be flammable.
   Should I empty the tank and store the fuel somewhere when the car is in my garage?

8. I see EV fires in the media all the time.
   Looks like the gas cars are a lot safer and don't burn down that much, I never see news on that. After all, I think the dealer said the combustion is only INTERNAL.

So I assume my family that much safer in the gas car?

9. I heard that lithium mining and all that mineral extraction for batteries is really impacting our environment.
   Not sure, but the oil extraction and refining are pretty green right? What happens to the used gas, does it end up in the landfill or can it be recycled?

10. Also, what's that weird sound when the car "starts"? Is that a one-time thing or do I have to "start" it every time I drive?
    I think the car I test drove must have been defective as it made a lot of noise every time I accelerated.

11. Same thing with this weird smell of my potential new gas car- I'm trying to pinpoint if it was the dealer guy that smelled a bit weird or?
    PS, can someone confirm if my kids can still play games on the car screen while we're in the garage, they always loved that. And lastly,

12. I got a weird feeling when the dealer mentioned: "oh, don't worry, we'll be seeing each other often".
    He was talking about some kind of "service".

Do you know if I need to be present for that "service" with my new gas car, or can they send it over the air like with my EV?
