Nobody gives any thought to how you'd POWER these bad boys. Californians are all rushing to buy this stuff, but the amount of KwH electricity to charge up a car or van is pretty steep. And they're all going to want to charge these overnight -- putting a big strain on the grid. Exactly at the time when solar panels are sitting in the dark -- whoopsie!
I foresee places with high densities of electric vehicles starting to have power supply issues 10 years from now.
Always the cart before the horse. Aka the Microsoft mentality = just get it out there, we'll fix it later.
Someone spoke of this elsewhere recently. How the Lng/Lpg potential just got rolled over and trampled in the "EV" stampede.
I thought this was a far better option as we (US) have huge reserves. Throw in Canada it's even more.
No strain on our feeble electric grid either.
In this stampede the herd has failed to see the cliff.
Specifically speaking as the winter storms roll in dropping power lines (or hurricanes / tornado's) where's the juice coming from ?
In Florida the golf carts are first to drop by the wayside in disasters.
