Reality check on electric cars

[LurchAddams]

They are not a fire hazard. They catch fire at 20 percent of the rate of ICEs. Norway's government is pleased with the transition. They hope more will take public transportation. Fewer vehicles would be beneficial.

No, he's right. I've heard there have been several Teslas on fire recently!

Elon Musk will have this and the next generation flying around in spaceships to get wherever they want to go.

Sounds like you've already been whisked away on one of them!

Electric cars will have more people flying.

Too bad we have such primitive rail compared to the rest of the world
because that would flourish too.

Electric cars will be great for local travel.
Plug them in right in your garage every night.

Don't try to drive from Boston to Miami, though, because on-road charging will be a nightmare.

ICE cars don't suck by the way.
Bentley, Rolls, and Ferrari still make some pretty decent stuff.
Most of us just can't afford it unless we were willing to live in it, though.

BYD, the Chinese maker has 5 minute charging. The snapshot of EV evolution is short thinking. They will replace ICEs.
