“You just have to drive a hundred miles to refill. And you can stop at the coffee shop for 70 minutes while it charges.”

So you drive for 80 minutes and have to stop for 70 minutes. Isn’t that almost a 50% downtime? A coast to coast trip a week? More? Might as well be driving one of those new fangled Model T Fords...

I have no idea why everyone is capitulating and embracing this whole concept at all. Without strong mass resistance they are going to force this extremely impractical concept on us all.

The minerals for these batteries will become less and less and more and more expensive...and we will be at the mercy of the holders of the minerals....Like the Taliban in Afghanistan....China.

Just look at how the "chip" problem is effecting us.

Natural gas and coal is still the way to go.

And I don't care if you have minus "0" emissions, you're not going to change the climate.

'Everyone' ain't!

Only the folks who do little daily driving and take no long trips.
