I'll never buy anything electric that claims to be a car or truck! They seem awful confident they will sell, but just imagine driving and having to stop to charge up for 6-8 hours instead of 6-8 minutes. They are dreaming. Am I supposed to pay $80 grand for something that only runs to the store and back?

Coming soon to a progressive paradise near you!
California has banned selling gasoline cars in the state after 2035, and Britain is aiming for 2030. China will allow only electrics or hybrids to be sold starting in 2035, and the Biden administration’s giant new infrastructure bill includes $174 billion to support electric cars—50% more than for bridges and roads. Just this week, the U.S. and other nations committed themselves to new emission reductions that will add to the effort to push internal combustion cars off the road.
...But it is not just the relative simplicity of EVs that is impelling the auto companies. They have little choice in the face of government climate policies, including potential multibillion-dollar fines, and the growing political determination to end CO2 emissions coming out of tailpipes—and, indeed, to do away with tailpipes altogether.
