EV's aren't ready for prime time. The batteries are too inefficient, the charging times too slow, the range too short, and the electrical grid isn't up to the task. The batteries are also too heavy, it takes more energy to move a heavier vehicle so it's inefficient to haul all that weight around, plus it tears up the roads more. It's going to take a massive jump in battery technology or more likely some type of fuel cell to get rid of the battery and produce the electricity on board.

If I thought they were a better mouse trap I might consider one, right now they're not though. If they get to that point in my lifetime I might consider one, now they're just toys though.

China controls most of solar- and battery- production. How will our Congresscritters accept Chinese bribes should technology bypasse EVs?
