  1.  @tomsd8656  Converting energy from one form to another comes at great loss of efficiency. Porting that power to an outlet causes massive transmission losses. I don't think the EV is really saving much, except it's moving the fossil fuel consumption away from the vehicle, which is good for city air, but not moving the needle for the planet. I agree that hybrid tech is VERY promising. Good power and ridiculously good gas mileage, plus, if you keep your driving to a minimum as I do, you can do a lot of good with a pretty cheap solar panel. The main "benefit" of pure EV is it restricts the mobility of common people.

  2. The heavier weight of EVs will also require more road repairs.

  3. No, they're not close, and your single-variable research proves nothing. They can do some good around town, and hybrids can do some good, long-range.

  4. If the technology is sound, why do you need subsidies? People who can't afford an EV or have a place to charge it at home are going to be giving YOU money? Very selfish of you and not sustainable thinking.

  5.  @engihere5434  They won't hold up in 10 years. A bunch of rich people bought them new, but nobody's buying them used.

  6. Anybody who could truck a big gas tank to a remote location DID so. All the infrastructure required was roads. Profit and free enterprise took care of the rest, because ICE was good technology. If a tech requires taxpayer funding, it's not good tech.
