In town for some folks and perhaps a well planned route for open road. But, where we live, not so much. For me? Nope. DOH!

We just don’t have the electrical generating and charging infrastructure, to support the mass adoption of electric vehicles. But in spite of that, our government officials insist on force feeding electric vehicles on us, whether practical or not.

Farley, whose company is set to lose $4.5 billion on its EV production this year, remains confident in their longer-term profitability. They do it, only because of political pressure and promises of $$$ awards and social-engineering from government. Its a state-run industry attitude, not very different from what you might see in the Soviet Union or China.
As such, we can expect the US auto industry to be destroyed and become a ward of the state

But in spite of that, our government officials insist on force feeding electric vehicles on us, whether practical or not. It's all about making personal transportation unaffordable for the masses. Cash For Clunkers, was the beginning.

If it doesn’t come into place via a free market, it’s just a scam that’s a function of tax-dollar racketeering.

They was a reason why gas won over electric and steam back in the late 1800s. Electric does not work long term for anything not connected to a power plant and steam took to long.
Gas is logical.
But stupid people apparently have to learn the same lesson again and again and again.

Dealnews lists great daily bargains from computers to lawn equipment, furniture, software to whatever....Today one of the deals was Hertz EV rentals. Tesla and other EVs were renting for $32 per day——but mentioned 216 mile range.
I thought, “well that stinks” as I was thinking of renting a car to travel to our Daughter’s house in WV that’s 526 miles away. Most likely that would require two charging stops (or maybe three) which could add another 2-3 hours total, IF I’m able to find open charging stations.
No thanks-—I’ll just put the miles on my car.
