About the only real use for an EV. Is for running errands around your immediate town. Any further and you might as well just use a Gas Vehicle. Because it’ll be easier, cheaper, and give EVs propensity towards violent explosions/Fires if say the battery gets wet. Safer.
Yeah EVs make sense for a very specific and small subset of the population, for specific uses. The problem arises when bureaucratic nutjobs try to force it on people, and ignore the numerous issues with EVs.
Pretend EVs as just as affordable as normal cars
Pretend their range is just as good as normal cars
Pretend charging is just as readily available as normal cars filling up
Pretend charging is just as fast as filling up
Pretend manufacturing EVs is not devasting to the environment and doesn't involve exploiting child labor in poor countries (lithium mines)
Pretend that electricity used to charge EVs is clean and NOT powered by coal
Pretend that end of life EVs don't present huge issues with disposal or recycling
Pretend that current power infrastructure can handle mass EV adoption
Ignore the carbon cost of producing an EV, and how long you have to use it just to break even
Pretend that EVs work just fine in ultra cold environments
Pretend that EVs have just as long a lifespan as normal cars, and don't have exorbitant repair costs
Pretend batteries last a lifetime and don't need to be replaced (at price points where you could just buy a new normal car)
And all of this while also pretending CO2 is some apocalyptic gas that will destroy us. That it doesn't green the earth. Also throw in ignoring that "climate change" is also happening on other planets in our solar system, and seems to have everything to do with the sun and not humans.
I wouldnt mind having the option. Honestly, once they come down in price, I'd likely have one as my second car. Me or my wife would drive it to work where there is a charging station - Its always fully charged in the morning and I plug it in at night. For taking the kids to school, grocery shopping, etc. They are truly convenient as I dont need to stop at a gas station for any of that. For long road trips, no thank you. I'll take my regular car
Step 1: Take a drive on California's famous winding grapevine
Step 2: You will be forced by the slopes to go around 30mph for stretches, accumulating a massive line of angry Californians behind you
Step 3: ???
Step 4: Profit
