A basic HUMAN tendency is to RESIST change. It seems that they did NOT want the electric vehicle in the FIRST place. So they seemed DETERMINED (like a self fulfilling prophecy) to let it ruin their vacation - and it did. I believe that Ford or Chevrolet executives explained to people that it would take 2 more YEARS to have charging stations virtually EVERYWHERE.
......Gasoline vehicles have RULED the road since about 1900. Electric vehicles will take an awkward period of up to TEN years to achieve the same lack of RANGE ANXIETY that gasoline vehicles have now.
.......Meanwhile EVERY electric vehicle on the road today makes the US less dependent on the Middle East and Russia. And electric motors have ALWAYS been more RELIABLE than gasoline engines. The electric engine moves in a SMOOTH circle. The gas engine must have pistons moving up and down and then later there is a CONVERSION to circular motion for the wheels.
.........And the more Electric vehicles there are on the road - the LESS the need for gasoline - so the price of a gal of gas will go down.
.........And that shows the motivation for the US oil and gas industry to resist E-vehicles. Which gets us back to the original, "people RESIST change". And SO do corporations.
