We have come a long way with air pollution control. I don't take long trips anymore, so having to sit in the line to charge an EV is not an issue. It would be if I was a traveler again. I don't know what the trade in value is, or the depreciation rate is on an EV, but that won't have much motive for me either. I like new technology and I am disappointed that more use of hydrogen fuel cells hasn't been encouraged, since it really IS clean fuel. I have a electric golf cart that I have converted to lithium power, but to be honest with you, I would totally go with a gas powered golf cart if I had to do it over again.
When I was a kid, we used to ride electric street cars around town. Now the tracks have been torn up and the street cars have been replaced with buses. Guess no one was concerned about climate change when they did the conversion. And no, I do not consider climate change, global warming, global cooling on any of my plus or minus points when considering my mode of transportation. I think that it is great that folks are keeping great companies like Tesla in business. And I do think that EVs are pretty cool. Just won't own one, UNLESS they ban gasoline or diesel. I remain open minded and ready to be convinced. So far, no one has convinced me that I would be better off with an EV. Maybe I will change my mind when I win the billion buck lottery.

Can I be your friend when you win the billion buck lottery
