Reply To: Electric Cars are they in your future?

I have been pointing out (1), (2), and (3) in the OP for a long time in other forums. (1) is the reason we need millions of fast charging stations. (2) shows that EVs are largely the idea of well off white suburbanites with driveways. (3) however isn’t the big deal you think it is because peak electric power generation is late afternoons and there is lots of excess capacity at night when cars would be charged. However, if we are forced to switch to electric heat, as the NY City Council unfortunately is trying to do, that changes everything. (4) is not an issue because blackouts only occur about once every 20-25 years in places other than Texas. (5) is nonsense because the demand for gasoline will plummet and the price will crash. That’s economics 101. (6) is a problem for gasoline engine vehicles as well. (7) is nonsense; the automakers acted on their own to phase out gasoline engine vehicles. In fact there are huge potential advantages to electric vehicles; the century of experience with electric buses is that they require far less maintenance and last twice as long.
