I’ll go green, including EVs, as long as the electricity is not produced indirectly by fossil fuels or natural gas or coal, and the electricity is free and the installation of the chargers in my home and elsewhere won’t cost me anything. And, most importantly, I want my EV to be ‘free’ to me. Oh, and I want the electricity to be guaranteed available 99.99% of the time.
But, none of that will be agreeable with me unless I can get a range of 400 miles on a charge, and recharging takes no more than 15 minutes. My EV will also have capacity for 5-7 people, with a generous trunk capacity for luggage and food shopping. And,repairs and maintenance have to be included as free for at least 10 years, at which time I expect a completely new and ‘free’ new EV.
With all those ‘unreasonable conditions’, it looks like you’re staying home and watching DVDs. Heh.
“and recharging takes no more than 15 minutes”
How many minutes will you expect to have to wait in line for your turn at the charging station? Existing gas stations will have to be replaced with the charging stations. How long will that take and who pays for that? How long will it take for a “used car market” to develop for those who cannot afford the new e-car prices?
At the current age of 90, driving a 87 Chrysler Fifth Ave, I am glad that I won’t have to contend with what you folks will have to live through in the not too distant future. Today you are CITIZENS of the USA. When all this new stuff happens, you will then be a SUBJECT of the United Socialist States of America which will be a member of the One World Govt, with BHO or AOC being the Chairman of this entity. Be careful what you say in front of your children as you may end up in front of a re-education forum.
Brave New World just over the horizon!!!
