I should state that I don’t hate evs, my irritation is with the brief time line declared for such a major transition for the US when the homework, grid capabilities, and flaws have not been sufficiently examined.

The financial pressure being applied to everyday citizens to convert to evs now is ridiculous when in all reality, this conversion could make the pollution problems much worse. Throw the baby out with the bath water! Why not develop a twenty year plan? Most people will have converted before that, the grid may be able to handle it and the kinks would be much fewer.
