There is a better way.And they only need to land to change batteries every 200 miles.
Don’t “charge” your battery, replace it with a charged one and get credit for any charge still in your old battery.

I was not aware that new reserves are being added each year.
Please provide some examples.
Thanks in advance.

Oil and gas reserves and resource quantification - Wikipedia
en.m.wikipedia.org
- Proved reserves of U.S. crude oil and lease condensate increased by 6.2 billion barrels (16%), from 38.2 billion barrels to 44.4 billion barrels at year-end 2021 (Table 1).
Absolutely. That’s how it’s naturally done. The big prolific conventional reservoirs are naturally found and developed first. Those days are long gone. But the earth is really big and holds a lot of the smaller conventional reservoirs and a massive non conventional reserve base. And that’s without factoring in natural gas which is an even more massive resource than oil.Wait one cotton-pickin' minute ...
Let's move the goalposts and focus on cheap, easy-to-get-to fossil fuel reserves ... like Spindletop or surface coal deposits ... because that's closer to zero billion barrels added reserves every year ...
I understand "peak oil" ... and let's assume this is a long time from now ... we still have basic human nature and we're using up all the cheapest most profitable fossil fuels right now ... leaving either less profits or higher retail prices for our children ...
... unless you're including natural gas ...

The Battery. When you drive your normal car, you need not think about the weight of the battery. It is pretty lightweight in fact. But if you plan to buy an EV, the battery can weigh 2 tons. Think of adding 2 tons of rocks to your Chevrolet IC car. (IC internal combustion) I want to offer a video made in Australia by a STEM kind of person. He knows engineering. He has the figures of CO2 for the various types of car. He talks about a Hyundai model I believe compared to an EV. Anyway this is to help you make decisions and not provoke arguments.
And how many people can I transport to the doctor, hospital, other important places on that trike? How many groceries or hardware items can it carry along with me? What happens if my errand is more than 25 miles there and back? If I'm just running a few miles to the bank and back or picking up a prescription great. But we group errands so save fuel and that trike I think won't cut it. Might as well ride my bicycle. Emissions zero.The electric trike will be enclosed and weigh less than 100 pounds with the battery. Cold weather will not affect the battery because it will be inside an insulated, heated compartment. Charging will cost $.25 per 25+ mile range and free if solar panels do the recharge and those are already paid for.
What is your range? I suppose you mean yours has the battery supplying electricity to the motor?My car, the entire car, weights a bit more than a ton and a half.
In my case, my complaint is not the EV, it is the batteries used in EVs. We rushed into batteries when the truth is Hydrogen is a superior path to EVs.Summary Table as of 2017
Oil Reserves
1,650,585,140,000 barrels
Oil Consumption

I am bewildered to watch people jump up and down to create renewables because of climate change when at the same time oil reserves are running out too.
I find it ironic that both goals have the same end in mind.

I do not own an EV. But think of how much water is on the planet. And 75 percent of the surface is ocean. A huge supply of hydrogen.Where are you getting the hydrogen?
YESCan you drive a hydrogen-fueled vehicle from Sacramento to Los Angeles?
