  1.  @ralpharmsby8040  With 100k I can buy 2 really good EVs that will do over 250 miles Will one tow the other down the road and when the first one runs out of battery, you jettison it like a rocket and continue in the second car to get 500 miles? Ingenious! You're using them like rocket ships that go to the moon!

  2.  @Acemeistre  if EVS got 180 additional miles of range in 100 years, what you're saying is that EVs will have parity with petrol car range in 250 years.

  3. No. They were simultaneously threatened by governments with ruin and then given cash incentives per vehicles to ease the pain of losing money on each EV. And that's a fact.

  4. In the US congress the other day, one of the senators pointed out that implementation of the rebates for EVs was incenting people to buy EVs with Chinese batteries, and he was quite angry about it. It was intended to support the US battery industry, which apparently doesn't really exist.

  5.  @TroySavary  EVs don't take ho[u]rs to charge, unless you mean the slower charging at home Every EV advocate says that's what they do. Are you saying most people go to public chargers?

  6. The official answer will be "It wasn't an EV, it was a Diesel Hybrid that caught fire"

  7.  @tomberan1282  I predicted 5 years ago, EVs would only ever get to 8% of the US fleet of cars, and even then it will take until 2055 to get to that point.

  8. If you get a DeWalt or a Milwaukee, they generally last a long time (5-10 years)

  9.  @Audioremedy0785  You realize EVs are powered with the same battery technology as EVs, right? As is your cell phone.

  10.  @kiae-nirodiariesencore4270  Well, as has been pointed out many times, while petrol/diesel based cars much more frequently (for many reasons), the effect of a lithium is significantly worse at least by an order of magnitude because it burns so hot and cannot be put out.

  11.  @TroySavary  It doesn't at all. I'm just wondering why it matters for you how long it takes to charge at a public charger, since you don't use them.

  12.  @1Electricman  The law had nothing to do with cell phones.
