s Yeah, the environmentalist will be eager to help that happen. /s

EVs don’t make sense precisely BECAUSE their power supply does not scale with their use.

ICE and hybrids inherently scale effortlessly to meet the demand for power.

I think hybrids is the best overall option. You reduce the need to fill up by half, for most people.

The whole ICE infrastructure has been optimized for 120 years. Petroleum exploration, production, enhanced recovery, refineries, pipelines for crude and finished products, tanker truck deliveries, filling stations, internal combustion engines, excellent emission controls, fast refueling. There is no way to duplicate that incredibly sophisticated system for EVs overnight. It will probably take a century to reach the same pinnacle of perfection as the whole extended ICE system. And there is no way in hell you can achieve that with wind and solar power plants.
