The whole EV thing is the same scam as Hydrogen Fuel Cell cars were under Bush. It's not real. It never was real. It's just an opportunity to dump a bunch of taxpayer money on Detroit and give the petroleum industry another decade of profits while the US government pretends to solve oil dependency with one more fake solution.
They don't work. It's simply not possible. Cars can't continue to exist like they do today because every person carrying around several tons of metal everywhere just doesn't make any kind of sense.
I agree with you, but your comment might be worded in a way that triggers a knee-jerk reaction to downvote.
The key point is, cars are not sustainable. Stop pretending that if you switch to electric, they suddenly are. Car industry is extremely polluting (not only with exhaust, but with production, tyres, asphalt for extra roads etc.), cars take immense resources to produce and service, and they are NOT a necessity.
The only rational way of transportation is through public transport. For super rare destinations where public transportation doesn't go, there can be a carsharing service.
Ditch personal cars. Embrace the new reality, and go green for real.
