  1. In the early 1900’s in the US, 31% of all cars were electric. They disappeared because: 1. The batteries were heavy and expensive. 2. The batteries didn’t last because of repeated charging. 3. Charging infrastructure wasn’t adequate. 4. Charging took too long. 5. If you ran out of charge mid journey no one could help you out other than tow you in. … 🤔 Nothing much changed then in over a century.

  2.  @zarty8121  .. Yeah. Some electric cars are already sold with ‘journey extenders’ - a small diesel generator!! Might as well have a car with just a Diesel engine and cut out all the bs.

  3.  @rogermouton2273  .. 1. EV batteries are still the main cost of the vehicle, and as such need separate purchase/financing agreements. 2. I’ve yet to see an EV battery that can still hold 80% charge after 600 cycles (approx 3 years service) - that’s why they have separate finance. Maybe Tesla can do better, but is Tesla aiming to supply ALL the EV cars to the world market? I bet they can’t deliver that number. 3. I’m referring to the infrastructure in the UK, where it is woefully inadequate. 4. You can get a full charge in 30-40 mins IF you are NOT sharing a group of charging stations at the same location. The more vehicles using the same group of stations, the longer the charging time. You can charge overnight, of course, from your home 220v supply - a full charge in 12 hours. Imagine how many cables would be draped through open windows and across sidewalks into the street for those who have more modest homes (especially in the UK). Imagine how many law suits would be generated by pedestrians tripping over all these cables., and the number of reports of ‘theft of electricity’ from people swapping cables. In a world where electricity prices are going through the roof, who can afford that? The batteries can be recycled, but the chemical elements needed for their production will be in very high demand and will lead to new wars over these resources - In African countries, no doubt. New futile foreign wars. Great! No. Purely EV cars are NOT green and they are not the answer. Hybrids - yes. EV - no.

  4.  @Brian-om2hh  .. I’ve nothing against progress. I simply refuse to be manipulated and gaslit for the sake of the next Uber-Rich agenda.

  5.  @madk4speed  .. Exactly. Now that they’re bringing out the ‘Emergency App’ for all Internet linked phones, theoretically all they would need to do is ‘announce’ an emergency and ban on driving or remotely disable any new EV vehicle.
