“ EVs do not make sense.”
EV’s can make sense if you use the tool for the right purpose. Just as a butter knife makes a bad screwdriver, ICE cars aren’t really good at short daily commutes. They get lousy mileage and it’s hard on the engine. EV’s are better for those short daily trips.
EV’s suck as a long distance trip vehicle. They only make sense to own if the EV is not your only car.
The “mileage” of EVs isn’t all that.
Power generation, line losses, inefficiencies in motors ... all work against their “advantages”. As they grow in numbers and the power grid doesn’t keep up (again, the environmentalist will stop it and muck up what they don’t stop by insisting on unreliable “renewables”) then energy costs will begin to increase, and not just on the EVs but on homes and industry. Roads are also not funded by electrical supply, and it will require more intrusive government to make them pay up.
A hybrid, as I said, eliminates the need to substantially enhance the grid, as power generation scales automatically.
As for ICE, they are fine for stop and go. Expectations have been unrealistically raised by a class of folks who think their “best” isn’t an enemy of the good.
When at a stop light next to an EV look and see how many Leftwing or environmentalist bumper stickers they have ... rev your engine loudly just to annoy them if they’ve got more than 1.
That’s a good point, maybe if all you do is city driving an EV makes sense. But there is no way you’re going to be able to have an infrastructure to completely replace ICE vehicles with EVs.
