Unfortunately for Kool-aid and non-Kool-aid drinkers alike, the engineering nuts and bolts of the equation have been left out. Grid retrofitting, power generation and infrastructure are afterthoughts delegated to the less enlightened. Consider this: A trip from San Diego to Fort Lauderdale is 2631 miles by car. The average mileage of new EV’s just reached 291 miles between charges. The best anyone could hope for, with current infrastructure deficiencies, is a Level 1 charge (120V) which would take 50 hours for a full charge. So, a leisurely 5 day gas-powered trip has turned into a power-sucking and life-draining 25 day trip for the average EV. While the tree hugger thinks them to be an ecological savior (which they’re not), it’s easy to understand why Democrats love the idea of the EV because CONTROL is their middle name.
