And yet it only takes a few minutes to fill my gas tank. It takes HOURS to fill a battery to go a few miles. Good luck when paying for a full charge because the price of charging is higher than a tank of gas. Lithium is also dangerous and there is no where near enough to support an all EV world. Mining lithium? Before running totally toward electric power, we better figure out how to get more of it for use. We will still have to live with oil produced products, even if we get rid of gas powered vehicles. I think that Hydrogen power should be considered before electric powered vehicles.
