Can’t you wait for when everyone is forced to buy an EV in 13 years?
All part of the swamps plan to immobilize Americans.

A Politico reporter had the same experience going from Louisiana to Chicago. Saved a whopping $100 for a trip that took 3X longer.

Remember back when there were payphones and half you tried did not work.....That's your future with public charging stations......The bottom line is if you have something that the public can break they fuckin' well will.

The smart money will be on something like a parking garage where a attendant takes your EV, gives you a claim ticket, and charges it for you.

Maybe with a app on your phone that tracks the progress of your charge so you will know when it's ready while you wait in a waiting room or do whatever the 'waiters" do when they are waylaid by their EVs.

THAT is where they are gonna get you.

We require serious infrastructure, which will be funded by the public.

All of these costs must be transferred.

At the end of the day your transportation costs will be higher than with fuel.

BOHICA!

Yep, just look what a smart phone costs you over time for a 10 cent call.....If you could find a payphone that worked.

Like I have been saying… the best way to get rid of a bad idea is to embrace it fully.

EVs are goof for some uses and not good for others. They work well for shorter stop & go driving, especially if they can be recharged overnight. Plug-in hybrids can supplement the range issue, particularly if you only have one car. Long-haul drivers had better stick with gas or diesel power.

Yep. Leftist UC Berkeley recently reported 25% of the charging stations in their pro-EV area aren’t working.
