But because it takes so much time to charge them, charging stations aren’t available, and battery replacement costs as much as another car, you’ll end up driving them half as much, so it all comes out a wash.

They tried this back around 1910 and decided it was a bad idea.

Tires wear out 20% faster, and I’m sure they probably can’t use just regular tires

BEVs ought to pay double the road taxes because they cause twice the damage.

You need to sell gasoline fueled automobiles.

No way I am buying an EV. I probably have to buy one more car in my lifetime. I seriously considering one that has no electronics in it - maybe one that can use leaded fuel. Not that you can buy leaded fuel, but I could piss off some idiots by telling them my car runs on leaded fuel and has no pollution controls. As for the no electronics part, when that EMP goes off, I’ll be sitting pretty. I’ll need a nice syphon hose tho. (No, I don’t really worry about that crap. I just like old cars.)

roads will crumble.....only if built with climate warming asphalt or cement. Cement climate warming? I attracts cars and therefore is climate warming.

No asphalt, no cement ... get a horse....or wait... PETA won’t like that.... Best walk..or stay inside the rest of your life.

“When vehicle government authorities decide vehicle weight is damaging to roads, they invariably require more axles and wheels for heavy vehicles.”

But these heavy vehicles still cause 98% of the damage.

Should a 6000# ICE SUV have more axles than a 4000# EV?

Owners of those monstrosities should pay twice as much to fix the roads they screw up

“ One of the dumbest ideas on the planet.” They tried this back around 1910 and decided it was a bad idea.

Try telling that to some of the EV fanboys here and they personally attack you, or they just stick their fingers in their ears and yell LA LA LA LA LA……

Could be, pal. I was throwing shade on your idea b/c I'm not convinced hydrogen is techically and safely feasible at any reasonable cost.

But, hey, maybe big gov, the politicians and their capitalist cronies can make even more $billions by bringing a new energy supply chain online. Oh, and we can't leave China out of the big profits.

With all electric cars there will be no refineries producing asphalt to fill potholes.

But gas truck/car fires are cheaply and easily extinguished once fire gets on scene.
