He talks about 'charging at home.' What about all of those city dwellers who, in addition to a myriad of other problems, park bumper to bumper on city streets? I would seriously doubt they can charge at home.

That’s why inroad charging systems are becoming a thing. Not very efficient at the moment.

Bigger in Europe (maybe china too?), here is one article..

EVs might look to some as problems but engineers like problems and then generate solutions which cause even more problems ?

Yea that’s my hang up with EVs. Perfectly reasonable for day to day commuting but they’re not there yet when it comes to long distance trips. The charging network isn’t there and it takes too long.

Some will defend EV for that purpose but those that do are willing to accept those compromises and personally invest in the EV concept.

Meanwhile most people won’t accept a vehicle that can’t go hundreds of miles and can’t be filled up with more gojuice in minutes.

EVs are very promising and I have no doubt the engineers are working on clever technologies but they simply haven’t come far enough to be a reasonable substitute for ICE in those circumstances.

We're not supposed to discuss politics in this forum so I'll have to ask you to imagine my obvious response.?
