Good luck in having the power generation and grid to support that for vehicles for all of us, as our central planners in DC are forcing upon us too quickly.

~15% of energy used in US is gasoline in the transportation sector. Converting that to electrical will take a crash program to build generation capacity that is not happening. The only thing that could do it is nuclear. Only one state has new plants, GA.

If I hear anyone in power discussing how much increased energry generation (NOT solar and wind) is needed to even think about large scale EV implementation, I will reconsider my closed stance to it.

As is is, the battery or motive technology is not there, and the only reason for this EV idiocy is to prop up a hoax (Anthropoegenic Climate Change) or increase the government’s ability to limit our movements or support other such tyranny. This may change with a variety of technological advances, such as room temperature superconductors, etc. but things like this smack of the Fusion Reactor technology that has always been 5-10 years away for the past 40 years.

If they address both of these things, I will re-think my position on EV implementation. But until it is taken seriously by the people pushing it I will continue to view it skeptically and dismissively.
