Because most people don't want to sit around waiting hours for their car to charge in the middle of a road trip. The charging technology just isnt quite there.
How would you know where the technology is if you think it takes "hours" to charge and not 10-15 minutes?

I think you are out of touch and would probably be surprised by the number of black people who drive EVs.

What do you think would be the state of agriculture if not for subsidies? How about O&G?


Exactly. The energy sector as well (which includes oil) receives subsidies as well.. but how dare they put up EV charging stations..

What's the price per kWh in the area? Probably a bit more than that.

Tesla is the only practical road trip EV because of the Superchargers. Any of them are good for around town.

They aren't. There's a frick load of capital getting dumped into this space right now. It's never been easier to get money.

It's been imagined. The answer is, it wouldn't work. People would die. Lots of people.

We bought a new hybrid 4 years ago. Hybrids aren't anything like EVs. They run on gasoline. They look just like regular cars. You don't charge them at a station. They just get very efficient gas mileage.
That isn't pure enough for the Greens, however. Biden's new executive order leaves out hybrids in his demand that by 2030 50% of all cars must be EVs.

I have 1 hybrid, which I only bought because of the 7500 rebate.

I wonder the thought process behind moving so any people to electric cars when china owns a large portion of the battery market and we have been having grid issues already. seems like a weird move.

I never thought I would agree with you, but this is a face.

People are always complaining about how corrupt our government is, how bad the education is, etc, etc.. They are the ones who keep putting the same people back in office. These politicians love the "brain drain" because they can get all the idiots to believe all the bullshite they sell to them.

Sorry, not interested in purchasing a $10,000 battery every 5 years.

I've seen this same poster say this in no less than 4 or 5 threads, and it never matters how many people reply to tell her she's wrong.

People want to be stupid and play dumb, it's really weird.

To me the funniest part of the ev debate is that the US manufacturers have the first real opportunity in decades to take market share back from the Japanese companies and reestablish themselves as the world dominant industry leaders. Honda, Nissan and Toyota are woefully behind on ev development compared to US and European manufacturers.




But the Patriots™ on here are full tilt against it.
