Always with the same tired personal attacks. Low IQ people cannot seem to debate a subject without going personal. Going personal requires little thought; as I just demonstrated
Did I not mention filling MY vehicle with gas costing ~$50? Did I say I owned an EV? It’s a simple conversion to compute mileage to watts. Simply reducing the number of moving parts improves reliability. How many parts in your Internal combustion engine + transmission are allowed to fail before you come to a stop? How many parts are there?
It’s engineering
Conservative figures are ~2,000 moving parts in your typical internal combustion engine and transmission; contrasted to about 20 (twenty) in a Tesla

As for life expectancy and efficiency

Every automaker on the planet is switching to EV. Every single one. Now; who do you suppose knows more about the subject matter? Us few on the board: or every automotive engineer working at every automaker on the planet?
I am just a R&D engineer who happens to be better informed than most on Lithium battery development and new technologies on energy storage than most. I also know that more storage advancement has been made in the last 15 years than in the history of mankind. And it is not slowing down. If you wanted investment advice; I would suggest looking into Lithium supply. It is going to grow exponentially
750 battery packs in a Tesla. Side impact at speed and it turns into grapeshot!
Just like the wind powered generators, if there were no government subsidies the wind farms would not exist. Drive your Tesla to pikes peak on New Year’s Eve and text me then.
If EV’s are as good as you say they are, you should be able to sell them without a huge government credit. They may be great for you, but for most people at this point, the up-front purchasing price is still prohibitively expensive.
