I understand how people think electric cars are pollution free, the wave of the future, etc.

But don’t understand how exactly we are supposed to accomodate millions of electric cars.

In many places, the electricity to recharge electric cars is generated in coal fired power plants. So the electric car is not really fueled in a pollution free manner.

If we suddenly had tens of millions of electric cars in this country, recharging constantly, it would severely strain our electrical grid. The grid as it exists now could not absorb the demands of so many electric cars recharging.

And there have been problems with the batteries in electric cars.

Bottom line, is that those who are virtue signaling by having an electric car, are still using fossil fuels in many places when they recharge. They still need to buy their carbon credits from Al Gore to feel good about themselves.

Jeremy Clarkson refers to them as “coal-fueled” cars.

They are banking on the ‘diversity factor’?

EVs are here to stay, but not as a replacement for the ICE.

Local use/train station/ kids car, more than a few in my area.

Were NOT, and there is no sane person that thinks we intend to. The scam is simple, We push everyone into a religious belief and get them to but Electric Cars, then we RUN out of Electricity to charge those cars, now we force them all into Mass Transit.

You have nailed it. The bottom line is that we also need a huge push on the Gen IV nuclear technology — and solar for those who think battery technology will also be available for all this future grid power.

Gen IV (if you don’t know) is not yet there engineering wise but when it does come on line it will produce nuclear energy in a manner that cannot produce massive radiation failures (technology wins here) and also can use old nuclear fuel and in the process help to reduce nuclear waste. These are the two main arguments against nuclear power plants. They also can build and install the plants around current nuclear plants and reduce the permit process and make hooking up to the grid simpler.)

Without this infrastructure improvement I do not see electric vehicles actually making it from the showroom to the home garage.
