There appears to be some sort of rewards given by the EV manufacturers to some of the old car pubs. They all seem to be pushing the duds. Motor Trend picked one as car of the year, Jalopnic did a laughable counter of a tech article that shows just how much more of an EV costs “per mile” than a conventional IC machine. The bottom line, though, is that without support from the government, EVs would be as dead as their batteries. I’m a EE, and would love an electric car. An electric car that doesn’t consume rare earth resources, charges within 15 or 20 minutes via charging stations are as common as filling stations, one that has a national power grid capable of handling the load and...oh yeah...reliable and inexpensive power generating capabilities.
I work very closely with several EE’s and they all say the same thing. It would be great, but… 1 of them has an e-bike he rides to work a lot, but he would never get an EV.
