I see, it only takes you 15 minutes to charge up at Chinamart...
What happens when there are 30 million of these EVs, and entire Chinamart parking lots full of EVs?
I haven't seen that. Maybe that's common in regions of the country that EV's are more popular, or in cold climates (making the battery charging take longer), or in areas where less people own homes they can charge for local driving.
But if it gets to that point of waiting lines for EV's, we still have an ICE pickup. Since I'm married and we need 2 cars anyway, I wanted one of each to give us diversification on energy needs for our transportation. For example, if the Dims again cause a gasoline supply shortage and/or make gas costs too high (IMHO it's still too high), we'll drive the EV. If the Dims make power hard to come by we'll drive the ICE pickup on trips. If the Dims make both gasoline and power hard to come by, we'll do our local driving in the EV charged with our home solar. (To be honest, that's the main reason I got the EV -- it's part of a broader project of making my wife and me mostly energy independent to give us some cushion against the Dims' stupid energy policies.) So part of the math on which car to take on a trip is that the first 250 or so miles in the EV are mainly free from solar.
Plus, even if the Dims end their war on energy and let the free market decide, it'd still be nice to have options. For example, from Alabama all up to the northeast are plenty of chargers -- an easy trip for an EV. And an EV would be better in some ways with things like staying at a hotel with a complementary charger (waking up to a full "tank"). But in some ways an ICE car is better for trips. Such as trips through the midwest where there are few chargers, or if we were to drive up north during the winter (when the cold weather makes EV's perform poorly). Or if the trip involved pickup chores for extended family or for an out of state church project (EV trucks just won't cut it). Or if I went on a trip without my wife (she wants to stop every 200 miles and walk around 10-15 minutes no matter which car we drive, thus charging the EV is good for her travel habits, but not for me if I'm by myself and wanting to stop every 300 to 400 miles). Since we need 2 cars anyway, by having one of each we have the best of both worlds to choose from.
