/—-/ Since the day the first Benz Patent Motorwagen rolled out of the factory there has never been a one size fits all car. What works for the short commute driver won’t work for many others. The people pushing the EVs either don’t understand or don’t care if it works for you or not.I commute 90 miles minimum per day. I live in the UK, I need a van that can tow, the equivalent electric van has a claimed 120 mile range with no towing capability, at double the cost. I live in an upstairs apartment, parking is in a residential street. A roof solar panel survey of the house pointed out there's no payback period, it will actually cost money ( the joys of Southern Scotland). What's worse, the roof is shared.
So in 5 to 10 years, where will EV batteries be? Still at their present level, crap.
Is it a case of, "Here's EV's, they're suitable for the average mileage driver in an average job, that owns a garage/drive and solar is an added benefit if you live in a sunny climate. The majority of you, tough shit".
