The electric grid won’t support this. Every 1% of ICE vehicles replaced by BEVs would need another two nuclear power plants to fuel them, plus an equivalent supporting increase in grid capacity. Every nuclear plant will take decades to find the funding, scout for the land, jump through the regulatory hoops, build the plant and bring it online.

We’ll be having rolling blackouts from sea to shining sea before they can trade 5% (15 million) of ICE vehicles for battery-only EVs.

Will need multiple vehicles, one on both ends of a trip, or if longer, multiple legs of a trip.

Bought a highly rated cordless electric snowblower, for winter use in Colorado, managed to work fantastically for half hour. Then took three hours plus to charge. While the Li-ion batteries were charging, I finished the driveway by hand in an hour and a half. My wife said that was good exercise. I am buying a two cycle snowblower tomorrow.

Nothing the democrat party does makes sense until one realizes that absolute power is their goal.

To achieve absolute power they must first destroy the middleclass. With control of the juice, they can drive middle and rural America into poverty.

I can’t believe how many Freepers are onboard with EVs, a weapon against both liberty and the middleclass.
