The problem with EVs is storage/degradation of power - battery tech is just not ready for a prime time debut. Electric vehicles have been around for quite some time now, but no one has been able to produce storage containment suitable for what is needed to make EVs comparable to attributes of an ICE.Man, the hate for EVs is intriguing. Clearly ICE engines never degrade with time or use. I get it, you guys aren’t early adopters, but a lot of people are! Charging technology will get figured out just like truck engines that use to get 8 mpg now get 20. Infrastructure will get figured out, yes with some pain points.
I realize my situation is not everyone’s situation, but it is the same for millions - we’re a 2 vehicle household and as long as I have 1 hybrid or ICE engine, road-trips aren’t a concern. I can charge at home on solar or at $.13 per kWh. Unless I’m going somewhere outside my routine my commute doesn’t exceed my battery range.
We’re so many of you mad when people told you ICE was the future and to sell Mr. Ed?
As technology and infrastructure catches up, I think people’s opinions will too
The cost of EVs financially and environmentally... what is the benefit compared to ICEs? To us, none, but to our betters, a lot of control.
I don't get why there is so much excitement about a product that can't compete with what we already have.
Total range
Refueling time
Ability to repair/replace parts
Etcetera...
Electric motors are cool, but for transportation applications... a limited niche market only.
