Just some points that I have not seen discussed-

  1. Time to refuel / practical vehicle range 1a. The cost involved in having charging installed on your property
  2. Weather. Snow. Effect of cold on batteries. I know everyone hates those evil SUV's, bit when there's 14" of snow on the ground your tesla/volt/insert your favorite EV ain't gonna cut it
  3. To the "just put in mass transit" crowd, do you feel that eminent domain is justified to take property from someone to fulfill this need?

Honestly not trying to troll, these are real questions that should be answered

And for the record, my vehicle is a compact sedan, getting on average 34-37mpg, so I'm not in that dick-size contest over who's truck has the bigger lift kit

#sobbing, crying, utterly inconsolable.

All I want is small, cheap, reliable economy boxes back. Simple, uncomplicated, user servicable, cheap cars. Engine, transmission, differential, a cab, lights, wind down windows. Without an unnecessary extra 5 miles off wires for the equally unnecessary half ton of electronics and plastic.

Unfortunately that seems to be an unreasonable ask nowadays.

Here's another "fun" fact, with every 3 miles you drive you will polite about 1 straw of microplastics from the cars tires.
