So where is Ukraine going to find enough troops to “win” this war?

And how will that happen? Can't build coal fired plants, no one wants to build nuclear plants due the amount of time involved, not to mention the cost. Where will the generation come from?
I have no problem with EVs if you live in a city and never go nearly far enough in a day to need a charge. More power to you! My beef isn't the environmentalism; it's the impracticality of using it for anyone not limiting their travel to 15 minute runs around the city, and the fact that the left is not keeping it voluntary but pushing mandates that we move to all electric. That's anti-free market authoritarianism, and it's based on a climate change hoax and the goal of the elite class to control all the rest of us. That is a huge problem.
Just because it is so simple and easy to charge an EV, it doesn't mean people will need to do it every day. A 200 mile charge will last me over a week.
Funny how the anti EV crowd has suddenly become a bunch of environmentalists.
Even if only half, or a quarter of homes will ever have charging stations, compare that to how many homes have gas pumps in their garage?
And there are several battery technologies that don't depend on some of the nastier elements currently used.
A deep conspiracy in the counting of garages? Hoo boy....
"Sixty-three percent of all Housing Units have a Garage or Carport"
"Note: A housing unit is a house, apartment, group of rooms, or single room occupied or intended for occupancy as separate living quarters."

So technically "most" (i.e. >50%) housing units likely have power outlets available to charge an EV at the owner's home parking spot.
Ten percent for the big guy too.
