EVs Are Just A Transportation Alternative - Not the Solution
I have nothing against EV's, except that some think that they are THE solution to gas powered cars. They are not- and never will be with current battery technology. But they are another alternate form of transportation - like gas, diesel or hybrid technologies.
Compared to hydro-carbon cars, EVs still have issues in consumer practicality:
> Very limited driving range
> Far less driving range when driven in heat or cold as power is used for heat or AC.
> Long charging times
> Charging station availability
> High purchase cost, even with government subsidies.
> Government subsidies - I do not like that the Government is using my tax $$ to incentivize consumer purchasing of a largely impractical technology. It's just pushing a big rock up hill.
Consumers are perfectly capable of making informed automotive decisions based on their needs and economics. For some who have short commutes, access to a charging stations during work hours, and live in mild climates - EVs may make sense. But for the majority of us other technologies cost less and offer far more practicality.
