EVs only work if you have ready access to an ICE vehicle, have a home charging station and enough money to buy them.
That works for me. But I wouldn't have a need for an ICE vehicle too. Although the Bonanza has an ICE.
Then there's still a matter of generation and distribution to support them.
That is just a matter of time. It will happen.
How do they dispose of the batteries? It's not just about their manufacture.
Recycling old batteries is a legitimate problem. But there are technologies in the works that promise to help with that.
A friend of mine has a 2013 Tesla with almost 300,000 miles. He lives about 65 miles from his job in Atlanta, so about 130 miles per day. He has lost about 15% battery capacity since new. He figures he saved enough on gas to buy a new Tesla. And when the battery loses enough to make it unacceptable, it is still perfectly suitable to be used as battery backup for a home or business, which will extend it's life for another 10 years or so. By that time, I suspect battery recycling will be improved.
But why is it that people that are gung ho on nuclear power don't care about that nuclear waste that lasts for hundreds of thousands of years?
Bottom line, this is all to make the players in the public and private sectors richer and LIMIT TRAVEL.
I'm not going to defend the people in the public sector. But what's wrong with people in the private sector developing a technology that will make them richer? But limit travel? I don't think so. If anything, cheaper fuel will enhance travel.
