Good luck with that.I'm considering buying a Model Y actually.for short distance driving. I'm driiving a 4 year old Hemi...not so good on gas...my SO's Bronco isn't that great on gas either but at least not as hog as a v8.

Now live up north. Or in farm country. Or as a contractor. Or sales guy.I agree plug ins are a great alternative. But I have one and I will tell you that even with 100KM of range you barely use the gas engine. How often do you drive over 100km in 1 day? Also battery tech is improving rapidly. They have cars that can charge at 600KW that is almost your entire days house usage in 1 min. That means you can add 400km in about 10 min. So while it still takes a bit longer then gas, understand that you will only need to do that on a long drive. Most of the time you will charge at home and not have to waste time at gas stations.
Exactly. If everyone owned an EV, where would the people who only have street parking or live in condos or apartment buildings charge them?Now live up north. Or in farm country. Or as a contractor. Or sales guy.
Or don't own a house.
Condo charging is an issue I admit. But one that can be solved. As for up north, it no problem. Yes you lose some range on the coldest days but you can still rapid charge. AND EVs will start without a lot of muss and fuss in cold temps. No need to leave your car idling at the restaurant because your engine oil may turn to paste,Now live up north. Or in farm country.

And a car charger? Where you can add 500KM of range?Exactly. If everyone owned an EV, where would the people who only have street parking or live in condos or apartment buildings charge them?
How about rental.apt charging, basement apt charging. On street only parking charging. How about cottage charging, camping charging, trailer charging. How about construction site charging.Condo charging is an issue I admit. But one that can be solved. As for up north, it no problem.

How is any of that different then a gas car? you go to a nearby charger and recharge. A Chinese bread this year will release an EV with 900 km range with solid state batteries. Already the Kia EV 6 has 580KM of range, Why do you need more then that? Now EV chargers come with storage and solar, so you can just set them up. with no grid connection.How about rental.apt charging, basement apt charging. On street only parking charging.

I can go on and on.
Hybrid is fine. Eliminate ICE. Won't happen.
Sure, when the infrastructure is built. But be realistic. Can our grid handle the new loads? The roads the increased weight?

Just go to Youtube, lots of people have tested them. AI will have a much larger impact on power then EVsSure, when the infrastructure is built. But be realistic. Can our grid handle the new loads? The roads the increased weight? How about construction equipment?
I will believe the new ranges when I see them in action, in worst conditions, than the Arizona desert.
Right wingers are afraid of science and progress.It doesn't matter how unrealistic. illogical, or economically unfeasible something is, a liberal will strongly champion it.
Uh huh.....I will wait for performance reviews after 5 years of service in Canada hauling 2 kids to various practices, commuting to work and errands, on city roads, with full loads, through all weather.Just go to Youtube, lots of people have tested them.
