Even the weather channel during the evacuation of the residents for Ian were telling people not to us an EV to leave in,
Not enough charging stations, too long to charge, long wait times at charging stations, range is too small, local mechanics can’t work on them, and the cost is too much. When the charging stations availability equals that of gas stations, when it takes the same amount of time to charge your car as it does to fill it up with gas, car prices are equal, and most mechanics can work on them, then I’ll be interested
Well today, the prices ARE equal. And since E-vehicles are POTENTIALLY MUCH MORE RELIABLE, then maintenance will be needed less often and YOUNG mechanics (that are NOT AFRAID of change) will quickly become comfortable repairing them. Body people will NOT have to change much, if any.
