The whole EV endeavor is filled with things like this.
I heard a discussion some time back, a motel owner, who wondered how he was going to have to handle this.
“Because I run a business in which travelers driving cars stop to stay overnight on journeys, will I be expected to provide charging stations for every vehicle whose owner gets a room for the evening?”
Take the batteries out of the EV and use them for your trolling motor.
This malarkey is a threat to democracy! /sarc
In reality, they’re fine with us all simply riding bicycles or taking the bus.
Yeah but if everyone had EVs there would be no more hurricanes, no more tornadoes, no more storms, no more hot or cold weather it would be 70 degrees and sunny all year round everywhere, UTOPIA!!!
Ahhhh! Yes.
Mirrors the conversation I had with my lib-in-laws a year ago when they bought a VW ID4 EV.
Feelgood BS flying in the face of common sense and basic economics.
I ask questions that make them squirm.
Fun in a childish way because they both have “grad” degrees and were very successful.
They sure don’t like hearing the real story on EVs from battery production to final resting place.
I try not to be too brutal. Elderly, brain-washed, white liberals can snap when presented with documented facts.
More like a death march.
When I was studying engineering just after the Permian, I was forced to take classes in the liberal arts. I was astonished at how disconnected the liberal arts students were from physical reality. All but one of the electric car users I’ve known were either liberal arts types or Chevy practically gave them a Volt and it did fit their driving habits. (Also, they had a gas car.) Half of all people are below normal intelligence. You can spot those people by the plug on their car.
We should all have helicopters - no need for highways (except for trucks)- parking pads would need a lot of space at stores etc.
Oh, just forget that idea;) LOL!
There’s the answer! Electric helicopters with a VERY VERY long cord.
Can you image the long, long line to recharge an EV when hundreds need to use the same super charger Station....
I don’t think you can evacuate the 2.7 million people of Miami-Dade county, especially since there are another 3 million people in the way in Broward and Palm Beach counties.

Well, after the first storm, there would be less than one million left, so the number of people to need to evacuate would get smaller each time. And a lot of those people might move back to the weather paradise called New York State. (Wakanda on the Hudson).
This article is absolutely right. The insane politicians are setting us up for a big disaster.
Florida has lots of thunderstorms, especially with a hurricane approaching. Equip every EV with a self-inflating balloon and a long metal wire.
There were a few reports here just after Ian stating battery cars that got flooded during the storm began to catch fire when the batteries began to corrode from salt water intrusion.
