My son drove from Dearborn to Traverse City this weekend. He made one stop each way and charged while having lunch.
He must eat a long lunch!
He did not wait at all. The problem is you have never had an EV.
I don't want one. They have:
* limited range
* high fire risk
* make heavy use of subsidies just to support them
* have little resale value
* have high insurance rates
* have high taxes
* minor damage totals the car
* no off road capability
* limited or no towing capacity
* expensive tires and brakes
* are extremely wasteful of energy
You are fabricating stories to back your lack of knowledge and experience.
No, Sybil. I know exactly why EVs have these problems. NONE of them have been corrected.
China is creating better EVs and better EV structures.
China is:
1. An oligarchy, with all the tyranny that implies.
2. has huge wasteyards of unwanted EVs.
They will be the auto companies of the future.
They haven't a prayer.
1. Toyata is the largest vehicle manufacturer in the world by far. They got out of EVs. They were losing too much money on them.
2. Ford is the largest truck manufacturer in the world. They got out of EVs. People don't want them. That's for a reason. Ford was losing too much money on them.
You will wonder what happened.
You are describing yourself. People want gasoline cars. They:
* have effectively unlimited range (just a few minutes to refuel).
* can go off road
* are cheap
* have much lower taxes
* have much cheaper insurance
* have a higher resale value
* can do your own maintenance in most cases requiring no special tools
* cheaper tires and brakes
* reduced fire risk
People like you are the problem and prevent the solution.
There is no problem, so no 'solution' is required.
