I drive from Texas to Ohio 3 times a yr. & I yet have seen a charging station & if I would are the chargers all the same do you have to sit in line & wait for 2 other EV’s ahead you for 2,3 or 4 hrs. before it’s your turn, plus are you going to be patient enough to wait an 1 1/2 hrs. to charge yours & the biggest thing can you afford to pay $40,000 more for the same vehicle you have now. Most of these EV’s your paying for HP not realablity. People have to weigh the pros & cons before they invest in a very expensive EV.
Electrical motors move in a circle. IC motors go up and down causing a lot of friction and wasted energy. And the water pump and the oil pump and the radiator. All NOT needed in an electrical motor. Electrical motors have more torque almost instantaneously. Best of all the electrical generating plant that supplies a hundred EVs is stationary so it is easier to control pollution. And there are CLEAN energy electrical sources. We can lower our CO2 production which will prevent people from killing themselves with pollution causing Global Warming.
