Not a fan but the attraction is that it is cheaper. For the same mileage at average electric company rates the cost if about 1/3rd of gasoline. Problem is there are no taxes on electric cars to keep the infrastructure in good shape. I have to assume taxes on EVs are coming.
higher electric prices is inevitable- - once they have everyone changed over- they control when folks can charge, and how much they charge for electricity- kinda like digital currency- once we switch over- we are at the mercy of whoever controls it-
They are claiming electric is ‘cleaner and better for environment’ but won’t admit that it takes ‘dirty fossil fuels’ to create the electricity needed- but once they have everyone on electric- I’m predicting that their message will morph to one where they finally admit the obvious and then will say “We must increase price of electricity to reduce consumption/use as it takes fossil fuels to create enough, and as we know, FF are bad for the environment- so we must all do our part, we must all suffer a little, and ‘pay a little more’ to save the earth- “
Folks will have little choice- they ill have to play along- or do without
EV’s should be taxed similar to gas cars.
The problems are that the taxes go into the general fund.
And Most of the damage is done by heavy trucks, not cars.
I have a few other concerns like is it gonna spontaneously combust in my garage in the middle of the night?
The cost of the inevitable replacement battery.
And then there’s charging times:
“Charging times Tesla model S
Supercharger 30 minutes
Tesla wall connector 9 hours
240 volt home 18 hours
Standard wall outlet 2-3 days”
