For EVERYONE, not just EV drivers...

I don’t own a gas guzzler. I refuse to by an EV car.
1. Expensive
2. Cost to replace batteries
3. Range is ridiculous and not practical to long hauls
4. No green friendly to dispose of thousands of toxic batteries
5. Russia owns 90% of rare earth minerals used yo make batteries
6. Need fossil fuel to create electricity on scale needed to be practical
7. Infrastructure is not in place.

This is another fantasy by people in control that again is not practical. The market/technology will drive future development not the government.

Unlike the old days, there are very few cars that could be described as a gas guzzler. Had a Cadillac Sedan DeVille with 500 cubic inch V8 which got 8 miles a gallon. 1969 VW Bug got 20 MPG, with no AC and a manual tranny. Now have VW Passat (can seat 4 comfortably) with all of the creature comforts and it gets 34 MPG on the highway.

Most people have SUV's. Wifes fully loaded Acura MDX gets 23 MPG and can transport 4 adults and 2 very small children.

Do beleive that there will be increased demand for hybrids. Would not go with electric only, until there is proper infrastructure to re charge batteries.

You missed the 500 CI Cadillacs. Had one and it got 8 MPG and not even fun to drive(it was a hand me down from my wife,s deceased father) since it weighed over 5,000 pounds.

I’ve spent money on stupider things than gas.

I don't think electric vehicles are the complete answer yet for reliable transportation.
Until a "lifetime" battery is discovered that last 20-25 years, electrics are died in the water.
I wouldn't spend $50,000-$60,000 on a electric vehicle only after 5 - 8 years spend another $8,000 to replace the battery's

But then again, I'll bet people said the same thing about cars taking the place of horses.
