They are coal-burning cars. Shut off the coal, and the car stops. (Where the hell do people think electricity comes from?)

A big thing for emergency/rescue people is that in an accident these cars have a lot of electric current available for random encounters, plus, in a wreck, the battery electrolytes are free to burn skin, etc.
The electric cars are a hazmat crew's worst enemy.

Ah, the refreshing sight of an article written by someone who actually knows science and engineering.
Read it and weep, oh libtards.
Right after you try for the third time to pass algebra 1.

Libtards think that electricity comes from the wall.
It’s just there.

If it were possible, I'd much rather have a Stanley Steamer than an electric car and burn the coal in the car instead of at the power plant.

I don’t think they’ve considered the degraded performance of these batteries over time and how that will require more charges covering less distance.
It’s likely they create a net increase of CO2, but worrying about CO2 output is a stupid metric to judge a car by to begin with.
I would be more concerned with total cost of ownership over its lifetime, but I already know these are big losers in that regard.
Most green technology simply hides it’s costs and silently stabs you in the back financially by shifting the costs to different areas that are more difficult to calculate. (smoke and mirrors)

where are we going to get all the rare earth metals needed for the batteries in billions of cars? Do they think rare earth metals are somehow more abundant than oil?
lol
To: SeekAndFind
The benefit of electric cars is not that they are “green,” but that they will enhance America’s national security by decreasing dependence on oil.

And what lubricates the engines in these electric cars? Seems everyone is always focused on the fuel tank and never whats under the hood.
