Electric cars...or anything else even remotely related to the Green New Shaft...they can SHOVE!
I guess the world may be in for the next change.. How about nuclear?
If you don’t mind sitting 400 volts/700 amps.
“I’m also an athlete.”
Also?
“Yep you can’t run get a couple gallons of petro and be on the road again..”
You can get the equivalent.
With current technology the only way you are going to solve the range issue is with hydrogen fuel cells. That requires an infrastructure that isn’t there yet. I think a lot of this is just wishful thinking from the eco-warrior crowd. As for me I’m gonna keep buying rusty old pickups with solid mechanicals. Less expensive to run and maintain. I don’t drive very far so gas cost is a minimal concern.

“I want one that will go 400 miles on a charge and recharge in 15 minutes while I take a pee and buy a soft drink.”
Electric cars are already going 450-500 miles and new batteries coming out fully charge in 5 minutes or less.
I for one will be glad no more oil changes, air filter, trans filter etc etc.
All of them are the same, about a 50 mile range in winter and uphill.
Did you want a neighborhood grid that handle every household charging an electric car as well?
All the pessimism! I bought an electric car and I quite enjoy owning it. I didn’t install a charger in my house and I can drive all over town without paying a cent for electricity. I know where the free electricity is found and I haven’t paid a cent for charging my car since Thanksgiving. And then it was because I took a trip up the coast from Arcata CA to Astoria OR during Thanksgiving week. I paid about half for electricity than I would have for gasoline. It helps to not be in a hurry because it can take several hours each day to charge. But right now I go to the super Walmart at 10 pm and charge for 45 minutes every other day. And I don’t pay for the electricity. Sorry to everyone else who pays the taxes that allow me to leech.
Be right after we’re all drinking free bubble up and eating that Rainbow Stew.
ASt least make ‘em purty! Chicom look just don’t get it...YUK!
Awwww, look at the happy face.
Batteries for those older Priuses cost $4-6,000.
No thank you. They are Fire hazards, very expensive to maintain and bad for the environment.
F’ electric cars and the azzholes that drive them.
What about the materials necessary to make the batteries?
“What about the materials necessary to make the batteries?”
I guess they are going to have to be abundant and cheap if the want to make a car that I would buy
The electric car crap again.
