Questions about electric vehicles

Posted on: February 3, 2021 at 08:36:22 CT

I'm all for EVs, but consider these issues:

1. How is California going to go all-electric by 2035 (at least in terms of new cars sold in the state) when it can't even provide enough electricity to keep the lights on at times?

2. Since EVs cost more than conventional (internal combustion) cars, how will most Americans be able to afford them without government subsidies or tax credits? Or will the Feds raise the gas tax so high that people will be forced to go electric?

3. Unless and until someone develops EV car batteries with extended range (600 miles or more), how will people make cross-country trips in a timely manner?

4. How long will it take (and how much money will it require) to build-out an EV charging infrastructure where charging stations are as prevalent as gas stations?

I'm sure there are more that I can't think of at the moment, but I'm interested in any coherent answers.
