The other big issue is cost of charging. The cost per kwh can vary wildly, and often be many times the cost to use gas. At home I charge my Volt at night for about 11 cents per kwh, which works out to about $1.21 to go 40 miles. Let’s say I buy a gallon of gas for it for $2.75 and can go roughly the same 40 miles…

Also, it’s only extra 20-30 min now, when there are only a few EVs around, so there is always an open charger available and you don’t have to wait. When there are more EVs, it will be extra 30 min to charge, plus another 60+ to wait until a charger frees up.

20-30 minutes on top of an already comparatively short range.

No that extra thirty minutes out of an already time crunched life, is not negligible. It is the major factor holding EVs back. When you can fuel up your EV in the same time and manner as a gas car, then we’ll start getting somewhere.

Everyone has it backwards. Priority should be handled in this order:
1. Infrastructure to support EV (charging, supply - thorium reactors)
2. Battery technology - and cleaner way to produce them.
3. Mass adoption of EVs.

Here’s something many don’t think about. By regulating a very aggressive timeline may ultimately produc…

The truth here is Bosch are right.EVs are not the only sustainable energy option and we shouldnt be letting stupid politicians play favorites!
Both synthetic fuels and hydrogen can be made from fully sustainable energy sources.
These fuels are more costly than using EVs for now.But if we include the true cost of going…

People that accelerate to a lofty 45mph to get on a highway where the speed limit is at least 65 endangering everyone behind them on the onramp and everyone in the right lane of the highway who has to slam brakes or get out of the way.

People that don’t keep a steady speed on the interstate.
