I think Battery powered vehicles were around in the 1940’s, but they weighed too much to be practical.
Today, a modern EV, it’s a totally different environment.
I drive an EV. It gets 350 miles per charge.
I will never have a:
Antifreeze leak.
Oil change.
Bad spark plug.
Tune up.
Transmission leak.
Power steering leak.
Leaky valve.
Leaky rings.
Transmission failure.
Clogged fuel injector.
Air filter change.
Fuel filter change.
New engine.
The list goes on and on.
Will I need a battery? Yes. Put it up on a lift, drop the old one out, put the new one in. Brand new. Not a big deal.
I would much rather have to replace a battery than put a rebuilt engine in the car. Engine, 5K, Trans, 5K. Battery, 10K.
People laughed at flat screen TV’s 20 years ago and laugh at EV’s today. Let them laugh.
I don’t care that a coal fired plant fuels my car. I like warm weather, and if burning coal makes it warmer, all the better. But I think it’s all BS.
Haha sucker.
