Guys, i have been saying this all along. When we get to 600, 700, 800 miles on a charge that takes 15 - 20 minutes, in a reasonably priced car, the game is over for internal combustion.

The electric car is just getting started.

Not saying it’s good/bad, just facts. They are stubborn things.

Inexplicably or ignorantly, you are completely ignoring infrastructure.

That’s just a bit Pollyanna, considering what’s coming down the pike to disrupt politically driven research & manufacturing.

What about weight of EVs? And electric generation?

The bridge over the Mississippi River in Arkansas broke because it was made for 1976 amounts of traffic. Add weight of an electric fleet and you’ll need a new bridge.

And that’s just one of thousands.

Hybrids don’t have as much battery and you don’t have to worry about increasing the electrical grid.

And hybrids are good for sport cars like the Acura NSX and the Corvette Zora.

The want EV’s, not because they are better but because they can immobilize you from a 2000 miles away.

lol facts are a stubborn thing, what exactly are you going to charge these batteries with. Charging rate and range won’t matter if there is not enough electricity or a grid to support these EVs

Putting cart before the horse. As i said what difference does it make if vehicles have longer range and faster charge if you need a diesel generator to charge it

We can get 700 miles in an ICE whenever we want- Put in a 25 gallon tank. EV zealots are strange, probably have all their money in Tesla stock. But it is mostly Democrats buying the EVs, while they are waiting at the charging station they can’t do as much ballot trafficking so the EV is a win-win.
