As others have stated, the technology has not yet caught up to the dream. The infrastructure can't support the added demand, there are safety issues, the current EV range is not adequate for the average Americans needs, there is not enough charging stations, home charging stations are expensive and no one has come up with a safe plan to dispose of all of these batteries in the next ten years!
We are moving way to fast on this green deal; all because a wacky congresswomen and a small group of testimony for hire environmental experts have predicted an environmental doomsday in 10 years. Interestingly, there are an equal number of environmental experts that dispute the doomsday thesis, but for what ever reason rather then listening to them, we are going to just forge ahead and spend trillions of dollars on an ill-conceived plan that is gong to permanently disrupt our society. And they are not stopping at EV's; they want to change the way we cook our food, eliminate farting cows and decide what materials we use to make our cloths too.
Anyone that has observed the U.S Congress for awhile can attest the we have 535 habitual procrastinators that have a track record not doing anything until the absolute bitter end, but yet almost without hesitation they jumped all-in slapping untold sums of our money on the table to fund an unproven theory. Has anyone ever wondered why? What's the motivation!
In recent years we have made tremendous progress in cleaning up our environment and technology is permitting us to do more and more every day. I believe that rather then taking an all-in approach on electric, we should utilize all energy sources and let the consumer decide what works best for their life style. You should be able to decide if you want to drive an electric, hybrid or gasoline power car rather then a one size fits all dictatorial approach.
You can call me an old set in my ways guy, but my goal is to be the very last person on the planet to be forced by our government to get rid of my gas guzzling air polluting cars!
