Most urban centers around America could operate entirely with electric vehicles, save for things like snowplows and tow trucks that have to have uptime when other vehicles are out. They have predictable usage requirements per day, the ability to have centralized purchasing and maintenance to leverage economies of scale and centrally-managed infrastructure. This would be a good thing. Picking things like electricity generation and dead batteries out as critical flaws that will cause the whole system to fail is no more valid than saying the horsedrawn carriage industry failed because the horses were too expensive to feed and the streets were littered with horse carcasses.
The fact that almost every city government in America is thoroughly polluted by corrupt and inept socialists who are bound to do everything badly doesn't change the underlying soundness of the abstract concept. It does make it rather difficult to pull off, but electric vehicles aren't the reason.
The imposition of EVs upon society is a crime.
Tell me about the democrat policies that are in the interests their constituents.
Everything rat pols implement have one thing in common: increasing their power at the expense of the people.
