EV’s seem like more trouble than they’re worth!

[SilverBillet]

Crappy chargers and sky-high prices are huge roadblocks to EV adoption…1 in 5 of the over 11,500 EV owners, according to a JD Power survey, reported they failed to be able to charge their vehicle at a public charging station. 72% of those say this was mostly because of charging station malfunctioning or out of service

The real world EV problems have not even begun yet...

I don't see EV's being suitable as a persons only car anytime soon. Maybe as a play car that stays plugged in at the house for days and only goes out for short weekend blasts. Maybe for someone that has a reasonably short work commute and can charge from home overnight. EV's don't work as a road trip car, as a towing platform, for long commutes, for cold weather and they suck for the environment. You also cant get them going with gas cans of fuel meant for the mower. I am willing to bet that before long the government will be letting us know if and when we can charge our EV's due to power infrastructure limitations. It feels like this is about control not the environment. The people that can only afford one car and its an EV will be less free. The government will happily point out where the nearest bus stop is though. Save the dolphins and puppies, ride the bus. What a glorious future awaits us....

If you own a small business with about 20 to 30 staff
Many drive 30 to 45 minutes to get to work
There are no charging stations at work
I ll assume the Government will fork out more tax dollars ( my money ) to add charging stations to each & every business for vehicles that currently pay FA to support the roads
This would be real cheap

What about apartments & condos
Hundreds of people
Hundreds of cars
How do you handle that ?

What an effen mess thats coming

If this E.V. thing gets adopted by everyone, better get used to nuclear power plants and trillions to invest in upgrading the power grid...thanks Greenies.

Even Musk says we're not near being ready for mass EV adoption, 'nuf said .......................

Oh, still waiting for that cost effective, comprehensive plan for spent battery disposal !

 

[DavidKFla]

All of this bullshit is short term. No part of this plan is substanable. That's the plan. Control when and where you can go somewhere.

Not going to fly. Time for people to say enough is enough.

We hope it's short term, but good people everywhere need fight and end this election theft/fraud so the swamp can continue to be purged of the scumbags in power, or this nation is in big trouble
