Its amazing to me a lowly car enthusiast with just 4 yrs of college how a large co. could place almost all their eggs in one basket,ev s. The necessary support, charging stations for one. Let alone the initial cost,up keep cost,repair people, supply infrastructure. I would slowly bring about these ev s. This just happened a good friend. His daughter and son in law bought a new Tesla. Going for service in Pittsburgh the car was sideswiped by a box van. Guy didnt stop son in law chased him down. Co. that owned the van had no insurance on this truck, how I'm not sure, driver got issued a approximately $400.00 ticket that's all. The tesla was totaled!!!!? So husband and wife bought 2 used teslas. They wanted to go to Dollywood. They rented a gas vehicle!!! Why? they were afraid no charging stations in some areas. They planned their trip around charging stations. Their father,we are in train club together, told me this story. Eva are nice back and forth short trips I think. Can you imagine 15 ev s pulling into a charging station at the same time! Like gas cars.
