Not interested in an electric car.....I like stability and electric companies are always going down in storms and blackouts. These charge stations will as well.

“Forcing technology on us”

Tesla sold 900k cars last year and had orders for 200k more but could not build them due to supply chain issues.

Ford has 200k pre orders for it’s F150 Lightning and that keeps growing.

No one is being forced to buy electrics, they want them.

Exactly so, when battery storage becomes an order of magnitude better and cheaper than it's current state then everything will go electric/solar.

It's nonsense except for limited applications until then.

i.e. solar is great for a remote off-grid cabin, EV's are great in congested inner-city settings to reduce smog.

Right you are. If the Left has its way, it won’t be “Do you want an electric car?” Instead it will be “You will take an electric car.”

You can’t go from the invention of the radio to the internet.
There’s a lot of things that have to happen in between.

Let’s assume for a moment that there is a niche in the transportation mix for EV’s. So ,let the market determine how big that is. No subsidies, no government mandates. EV’s and ICE’s have to stand on their own merits. Let the customer make the choice.

Why not? Unvaccination is doing pretty well.

EV battery fires are very hard to extinguish.

Car insurance has to come to grips with homes/condominiums that catch fire—plus—the mandated replacement of the battery pack after every EV fender-bender.
