While I'm against forcing electric vehicles on society, I have nothing against electric vehicles themselves. I think the electric vehicles are viable now, I just don't think the infrastructure is ready yet. Also, I'm opposed to tax credits for buying these things. If they can't survive the market without a crutch, they're not there yet. I think right now they are viable without the tax credits. If people can afford a $80K truck, they can afford most EV's without subsidies.Biden’s Push For Electric Vehicles Hits A Huge Roadblock — A New Anti-Slave Labor Law
A new law could prevent supplies from China needed for electric vehicles from entering the U.S., halting the Biden administration's green energy push.
If the infrastructure isn't viable, then neither are the vehicles in any practical sense. I think someone else already posted that it's like building a house and then trying to slide the foundation under it.
*Lifestyle and expectation dependent.
Sure. If all you need is a grocery getter or a commuter in the city, EVs are fine for that. If you want to show it off, impress your friends, it can do that too. As you expand the role beyond those, they’re less viable.
Exactly. It will be interesting to see how the satisfaction rates hold up for those that spend 50 weeks of the year within 1/2 - 1 hour drive of their homes, where they can conveniently recharge every night and/or have free recharging at work decide to take that EV on a family, interstate vacation.

They're good for navigating golf courses.
Well, my coworker who has a Tesla opined on that. He said it went okay. Just okay. They planned meals around recharges. So the wait wasn’t that bad. This was before Tesla expanded their superchargers. Or whatever they call them. I think I recall asking him after a later vacation if he took the tesla? And he said no, they took his wife’s car.
Have you ever planned meals around proximity to a gas station? No? Me either.
It’s about priorities. If the novelty of taking a trip in an electric car makes everything else worth it, then you’ll do it. If not, you won’t. But that prioritization is getting easier as technology develops. They’ll work out the battery energy density. They’ll work out charging time. They’ll work out the issues with the power grid handling it.Have you ever planned meals around proximity to a gas station? No? Me either.
Is this GI-Joe size, or is it a real vehicle?I did see you can buy a $2000 all electric EV truck form china, I'm sure its great and reliable.
The Brand New $2000 EV Pickup Truck: CLZKC-009
Yes, there are brand new electric pickup trucks you can buy for $2,000. This is the CLZKC-009 EV from China.Here's all the info you need!
For me, it won't. Ever. Period, full stop. By the time the grid is upgraded to the point that EVs are practical, I suspect that I'll be too old to drive.
It’s real, real crappie. Lol. Top speed of 30-40mph and range of 40-80 miles. But, it is only 2k with a hybrid option for more $. Depends on your needs. Seems like a supp’d up golf cart to me.
Never say never, but I don’t see myself looking to replace my truck in the 15 or 20 (hopefully) useful years I have left. Well, unless the powers that be make it impossible to use. By then I don’t think I’ll be driving. The wife will be needing a new car in the next few years. Maybe. We’ll see.
I think when things get to that point, Ima buy me pony. I could ride him on my boat. No, wait, my boat will be out of gas too! Damn the hippies and their green tree-hugging ways!
