Can’t make enough electricity now....

Like with nukular weapons, the problems don't end with creation. You also have to have a delivery system.

About 40% of the energy America consumes goes to transportation and the power comes from dead dinosaurs. Right now, the fuel for that 40% is delivered to the retail distribution points in vehicles powered by -- what else? -- dead dinosaurs.

So it's not just production, we also would have to upgrade the power grid to the tune of an additional 40% capacity. So the questions then become how long will it take, and how much will it cost, and who will pay for it?

Also, It's presumed that most people will recharge their coal-powered cars at home but what if they take an extended trip by car for holidays and such? Then it gets really complicated because you're left asking "How many cars can Grandma's home circuitry charge at once?" And "How long will I have to stay at Grandma's to get my turn at recharging so I can make the trip home?"

And if the one-way drive will take more than a single charge, then it gets really interesting because then you'll be dependent on commercial charging stations, which presents a whole new set of "economic viability" problems.

First of all, a fast charging station costs more than 10x as much as a Slumberger fuel dispenser head. And even with the fastest (advertised) full charge currently available, you'll spend 4x as long charging as you would fueling. Which means besides spending 10x as much for a "fuel dispenser," the "gas stations" also will need four times as many of them (best case) to support the same volume of customer traffic as they did with vehicles that ran on dead dinosaurs. And also will need additional real estate for four times as many recharging islands.

And right now there are 21,000 commercial charging stations in America. And there are 35,000 cities and towns across the fruited plain. Which leads to the further questions of how long will it take, how much will it cost, and who's going to pay for all the additional commercial charging stations?

Or are we supposed of give up on the idea of vacations and holiday weekends in the family car so we can engage in the fantasy that we're saving the planet by driving a car that's chockablock with exotic hazardous materials and gets its power from a coal-fired steam plant and has a wildly unpredictable driving range? And in many cases will take longer to refuel than to drive off that fuel?

And disabuse yourself of the notion that electric cars will be any cheaper to operate, because you can bet your bippy that the government will offset the loss of gasoline tax income somehow, and you also can pretty well bet they simply will transfer it to EVs in the form of a wheel tax or electricity consumption tax.

Not to mention that companies like Tesla are lying about the cost of "fueling" their cars.
