“. Not enough range for much of the country, “
Most don’t drive 500 miles in a day.

Who can go 500 miles without a rest break? Recharging in 20 minutes gives you time to go take a leak.
“not enough places to re-charge because you can’t get in and out like a gas station so you end up with long lines”
Every house is a charging station. Already, gas stations are installing charging stations.
The Model-T was in production 4 years before the first service station was built!
They’re expensive. And some of us who don’t live in houses with garages are too busy to run to someplace a couple of miles away at least, to charge them up.
Our car is almost 8 years old and doesn’t even have 30K on it now; but two or three times per year my husband drives a long way to see his family. He doesn’t want to bother with stopping and charging; and we don’t need an ‘electric car’.
I’m unhappy that you can’t still buy a decent car with roll-up windows and actual keys. All of those electronics get very pricey when they have to be fixed - over the past year, we’ve spent about $500 just to fix an automatic window that wouldn’t go up and down reliably. I can’t imagine the repair costs possibly encountered on a fully electric car.
Which EV can go 500 miles on a 20 minute recharge? Hmmm????
Have fun with the bill, meanwhile I’ll rake in the extra income. Thank you.
You’ve obviously never owned an EV, nor tried to take one on a cross-country trip. I owned a Tesla S, and took it on a number of cross-country trips. You’re so full of it you stink. Yes, it’s doable, but for you to say “20 minutes” to get going again is a joke.
“Who can go 500 miles without a rest break? Recharging in 20 minutes gives you time to go take a leak”
We’re not so stupid as you think. We know a 20 minute charge doesn’t take you another 500 miles.
The bottom line is this. We DON’T CARE what kind of car you want to own! If you want it, buy it! Don’t expect the rest of us to subsidize your purchase with our tax dollars. Furthermore, don’t ask the government to dictate what kind of vehicles we should buy. We respect your choices, respect ours!
Spare us the drivel on saving the environment.
