First of all, these EVs are considerably heavier than your standard internal combustion vehicle thus placing more stress on all of the roads and bridges that were not designed for EV usage.

Add on to that the the tires for EVs wear out faster than standard tires, again due to the weight of these vehicles.

Then we need to consider the charging stations that need to be put in place all over because of the much shorter range of EVs.

Another consideration is what happens when an EV has either a catastrophic failure or high impact collision with another vehicle? The clean up requires the presence of a capable HazMat Crew due to the large abundance of Hazardous Materials that make up the battery packs.

On and on this list goes.

What a patently STUPID IDEA.

Anyone ever look at an asphalt road after an EV fire? I've seen one such area after an EV fire, and I suspect the road would need some sort of repair or earlier maintenance.
