Also, you have to consider the safety issue. You don't want to wait 30 minutes in a seedy part of a town to recharge your battery.
I hate these people. The herd leads the way right over a cliff.
Compost tries to create reality.
And the capacity of these mega batteries lessen with repeated charging. Then they have to be replaced at an enormous cost. Additionally they have a penchant for suddenly bursting in flames.
All in all a future as weak as bird killing windmills and solar panels. As the evidence piles up the consumer grows wiser.
The “magic tipping point” tips back the other way as soon as the federal subsidies dry up.
Is the idea that 5% or even 10% of sales will lead to 90%, even based on anything, or if it just wishful thinking?
Somehow they decided that EVs being 7% of sales must lead to everyone having an EV.

Hmmmmmm......some legislation is making its way through the Kalifornia legislature that will mandate all EVs charging systems be “bidirectional capable.” For those of you in Rio Linda, this means the government wants your EV battery energy to be funneled BACK into the Kalifornia electric grid.
Imagine your woke EV is fully charged, and you wake up in the morning to go to work..... OOPS... the powers that be decided they ‘needed’ the electricity more than you do, and took the energy.
Senate Bill 233 (SB233)
Kalifornia has already announced their intention to outlaw ICE autos. They talk all the time about establishing more and more EV charging stations. They refuse to build any more electricity generation. They are tearing down dams that provide very inexpensive electricity.
Government:
1. Subsidizes EVs
2. Makes gasoline unaffordable
It’s flip sides of the same plan.
Magic is the operative word when it comes to EVs. Magic batteries delivered pollution free by the battery fairy. Magic electricity delivered from rainbows and unicorn farts. Magical energy usage that somehow vehicles averaging 500 to 1500 lb more than ICE vehicles will use less energy than an ICE vehicle despite the second law of thermodynamics operating at every transformation of the electrical energy’s journey from generating plant to mechanical movement of the battery car. Etc.
The only electric cars I would consider are small and remote controlled.
“Some researchers” are morons.
The electrical power generation system is inadequate for this to occur.
The electrical transmission and distribution grid cannot support it.
There isn’t enough materials mining and processing to support making all the batteries, conductors for the vehicles and the above.
But somehow everyone will be buying EVs! Because the EPA said you must.
This sort of central planning was tried in the 20th Century numerous times. It failed every time.
According to the Norwegian Road Federation, in 2022, 79.3% of new cars in Norway were battery electric vehicles (BEVs). In 2021, there were only 65% of them. The number of plug-in hybrids – 8.5%, other hybrids – 5.4%, the share of new purely gasoline cars was only 3.9%, diesel cars – 2.9%.Jan 5, 2023
BS Fires, cost of replacement batteries, lack of charging stations and the chargers get their energy from coal. The consumer will catch on.
Only Virtue Grandstanding Starbuck housewives see value in paying double for a car that works half as well.
I used an EV from 1999 through 2016. It was excellent experience, much better than similar ICE alternatives.
Of course, I am talking about riding golf carts. Longest trip was 10 miles on days I played 27 holes.
Total steaming BS~~~~
Don’t ever buy a ICE riding golf cart.
Battery powered are quieter and no fumes to inhale.
just like in Australia, FakeNewsMSM talks in vague percentages.
how many vehicles were sold?
how many were second or third vehicles for the urban elite to virtue signal in?
no-one wants them in Australia, but everyone in the FakeNewsMSM boasts of driving one (tho sometimes using their ICE car! seems media have been gifted an EV so they can’t say negative stuff about them.
