yeah, MOST of us do... you take the outlier example of someone on a road trip to make some ridiculous assumption that EV's will die off by 2035 if they cant charge faster than 30 minute ....that is ignorant af considering how fast Tesla is overtaking comapnies like BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, et al in sales these days even with 30 minute charging that is has right now.

BTW, I'm not a millennial , but I'm not a Boomer either sorry to break your heart, but EV's are here to stay and Tesla will out sell BMW and Mercedes combined this year ... MOST people don't drive 300 miles a day to have to worry much about wasting 30 minutes at a Super Charger station |

There are going to be millions that don't have access to home charging. No way around it. Whether they live in apartments, condos, or homes with only street parking. Not all cities have adequate mass transit. Many urban dwellers own vehicles now and would most likely want to continue to have the freedom of vehicle ownership. A functioning DCFC network for the masses will 100% be a necessity. The dream of everyone charging their EVs at night in their garage is not reality. It will be a convenience for many, but certainly not all. Last edited by M3WC; 04-22-2023 at 05:21 PM.. |

Now let’s address your complete false statement that I hate electric vehicles. What a bunch of utter nonsense. I love competition. What I don’t love is favoritism by government to a particular technology or brand in any sector of capitalism. It’s not healthy and unfair. Let electric vehicles stand on their own and fight for business without government, tax breaks or subsidies. Lastly, I still say you’re delusional as to the driving habits of other citizens. Why don’t you look up how many people actually own a house and therefore have access to nightly charging. |

you really think all ICE cars are going to be banned somehow by 2035, that is NOT what any state or country has stated AT ALL... What some have said is that all NEW cars will be EV by 2035, heck even huge automakers have stated the same...used ICE cars will still be readily available for decades to come....quit trying to make more out of this than what it IS |

Nah. The people pushing this agenda want B. It creates dependency. Dependency creates reelections.

I think today's situation is similar: a necessary target data has been set, and now we'll see how quickly the impediments to success can be removed. Mines taking well over a decade to be approved and producing and the very long time it takes to get even renewables connected to the grid look to me to be the main issues today. There's a lot of work still to be done to get all the pieces working in concert. The transition will take place; it's just a question of when.

Funny how you truncated my post to leave out the answer to your question; I already stated this in that post, "It is unrefutably clear that the Government is forcing the creation of the EV market. The most recent examples are the $5B Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill, and just this past week, the EPA's new proposed emissions regulations." Oh, I should have included the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. That's where Uncle Sam reupped on the $7,500 (max) EV tax rebate.

Our local track just banned EVs because they are not equipped to face an electric car fire. I heard it's so hard contain that most of the time firefighters will just let them burn up, it can be almost impossible to stop.
