The #2 problem is that most EV owners buy one out of cult-like belief that it's saving the world from warmageddon.
If the only people buying EV's were the people for whom it meets practical use, there'd be few to no problems. But that's too much like free market thinking for the control-freak left.
Exactly. EV’s make a great sports car or daily commuter for someone who can afford a charger in a garage, and an ICE second vehicle. They do not work well for long trips or as your only mode of transportation.
Battery fires inside your garage.. and
The Lighting is more of a toy truck than the Raptor and cost about as much.
At least the Raptor has a real range of over 300 miles towing a trailer on pump gas.
The Lighting can tow a trailer about 100 miles.
With that kind of range do you want to go out on the road with your camper and just hope that you make it to the next charging station?
“”If the only people buying EV’s were the people for whom it meets practical use, there’d be few to no problems.””
Long before today, an EV use and culture developed that still thrives today. Rush Limbaugh and President Trump made it even more famous. That culture is called.....Golf.
Hmmmmmm? Now there is a possible business. Converting EVs to golf carts. According to recent reports, there are thousands of EVs in the car dealerships that are not selling. Eventually, the dealers have to make room for cars that will sell. Selling them to a golf cart shop at a very reduced price is better than no sale at all. Hertz Rentals announced that the sale of used EVs is difficult.
For the wankers who think their Tesla provides status, a Tesla on the golf course would balloon their ego even more.
