Didn't I say all this like 20 pages back, or was that another thread?“To Fort Worth” from where ? Distance ?
It was something like 460mi round trip.

It's impractical even with the infrastructure. Took a friend's Tesla to Ft Worth. Plenty of superchargers along the way so infrastructure wasn't an issue. Stopping to charge added an hour and half to the trip. Started out will full battery, too.
It was three separate charging times of about 30min each. Didn't have to wait, but one of those times we took the last available charger so if someone else came along they'd have to wait on us.

Why so long? Have to pee, too?vs a 5minutes stop for gas

The concept of the electric car is sound but the storage technology is a joke. Once they get super capacitors perfected, you'll be theoretically able to charge a car in less time than it takes to fill a car with fuel. Not sure how they're going to get that amount of amperage to a charging station though.We may need to wait for better vehicle technology, but I don't want to spend it waiting at charging stations.

There are only two ways to make “electric vehicles” work for most Americans:
1) Implant power sources in ALL roadways;
or,
2) Design them with quick change batteries and build a massive network of battery change stations
Neither is llkely to happen any time soon.

Another liberal goal - control/restrict travelOr restrict travel to your local. Something else rumored to be in the works.

There are TWO big problems with the entire concept:
1) There is no way to make any battery take a real “quick charge” to its full capacity.
&
2) No nation produces sufficient electricity to run the scheme.
So, the idea of everyone driving an electric vehicle, and of those electric vehicles replacing internal combustion engines, is a pipe-dream.

Those full Gatorade bottles you see in the sides of the road ain’t full of Gatorade. I had to explain that to my wife on our road trip through the Arizona desert this past September.Why so long? Have to pee, too?
Normally on that length of trip I'd only have to fill up once, too.
The liberal dems that run small towns in the uk are preparing for that by putting gates in and restricting people to geographic areas with only allowed so many days a year outside your assigned neighborhoods.Another liberal goal - control/restrict travel

BINGO !
What do “gun control”, electric vehicles, over-taxation, etc. all have in common ?
RESTRICTING Citizens & weakening us !
The Belvidere plant only makes the little Cherokee. That thing is basically just an updated Jeep Liberty and no one wants that turd. The real Cherokee is built at the Jefferson plant alongside the Durango.Automaker Stellantis lays off hundreds of American workers, blaming high cost of making electric cars
Stellantis announced its decision to idle operations at an assembly plant in Belvedere, Illinois, next February, resulting in "indefinite layoffs" for workers.www.foxbusiness.com
Hurricane evacuations are not a shit show now with hoards of people heading to the gas stationsIf everyone eventually converts to electric vehicles. How be a shit show will it be durIng a hurricane evacuation?
