Well see...I'm not set up well for charging overnight at home. Car lives outside and we need two vehicles. Only have 100 amp service for the whole property and I'd need electrical work before I could plug in much of a charger. Can you imagine running charge cords across the yard every night, especially in the dead of winter? No thanks. Not to mention that the power goes out every time the weather gets a little rough. Do I use my gas generator to charge the two cars? I'll have to get a bigger generator and keep a lot of gas on hand.Bruce » 17 Jul 2023, 3:16 pm » wrote: ↑ Agreed.
But 99% of those EVs are not going to need a quick charge.
All gasoline cars, need a public gas station.
The EV gets charged every night at home.
The only EVs at the public charging stations will have traveled nearly halfway past their safe range.
And as for cost, the car itself is basically unchanged for thirty years.
What an EV does is substitute a battery for a gas tank.
Then instead of an engine, transmission and drive train, they stick an electric motor (or two) on an axle.
Once the customer ever gets his first EV he’s never going back to gasoline
No. Build them to take a full charge in 5 minutes or so and I will NEVER charge at home.
