EV haters??? Is that anything like calling someone a "racist" because they don't agree with you?
EVs predate the 1900's and have yet to compete with ICE vehicles. I say, yet. Great concept, but so far they are not quite ready for competition with ICE vehicles. Great novelty, though.
So far, almost everyone posting FOR EVs on here, has made excuses for the negatives still attached to the EVs. I think that the most significant negative related to owning an EV is fueling it. Compare that with fueling ICE vehicles. If you run out of fuel on the road with an ICE vehicle, a can of gas will likely get you to a gas station which will take five minutes to fill it up. An EV runs out of charge on the road, what do they do? When they do get to a charging station, how long must you sit in freezing or sweltering heat while it charges? If someone is at the charging station before you, how long does that delay your journey? How much does an EV cost vs. an ICE vehicle? How much does it cost to change out depleted batteries vs. the cost of changing out a worn out ICE motor?
EVs are fine for short commuting, and that is why small countries can brag about how great they are. Small countries also have a better mass transit system than the U.S. We are a large country and we have to think on a larger scale than most European countries. EV's have been around since the 1800's and still have a way to go before actually a viable option to replace the ICE.
But EV's are a really neat novelty. It's nice that the wealthy can afford the luxury. Proponents of the EV keep repeating the mantra that "no one is forcing you to purchase an EV." Maybe not now, but some states (as well as some folks in D.C.) are attempting to cut out production of ICE vehicles. Kind of like saying "no one is going to take away your guns" all while restrictions are put on gun ammo and banning lead projectiles in ammo. Before pushing ICE out and bringing EV's to prime time, someone needs to consider EV compatible infrastructure. Kind of like laying RR tracks down before selling tickets to travel by train.
Not an EV hater, just being pragmatic.
