| #3 Better than tents AND they have their own electric heaters! Say, you think we should put in a charging station at that hobo village down by the river? If EVs were a better mouse trap, people would be adopting them because it makes sense. Despite federal subsidies, arithmetic wins in the end. EVs are not a plug-in replacement for conventional vehicles (no pun intended). In some situations, the reduced emissions* are an advantage, like a dense urban area or inside a factory. In others, the short range and recharging time are deal breakers. Forklifts and fleets of robot JohnnyCabs downtown - yes. Long-distance trucking and winter driving - no. * not "reduced" so much as moved elsewhere. An EV still burns coal or uranium, the vehicle is just further away from the combustion. |
