Yes

That is going to add more load to an already overstressed electric grid. No thanks.

I didn't even think about that. The cost of the whole thing, price of car and cost of charging station install, is prohibitive, but you make an excellent point. California can't keep the lights on during heat waves as it is. If everyone had electric cars they wouldn't be able to charge them anyway!
Bonnie, you and me both! Someone mentioned the additional stress to an all ready over loaded power grid especially in the American Southwest! They have rolling blackouts during heatwave now. How would they charge their cars with no power?
Electric vehicles is just one more way to control society. Eventually travel will be limited due to infrastructure inadequacy

I won't be able to afford this kind of car. I live in Imperial county 115° just today, I wouldn't have to where to charge it definitely not here at my apt.

They cost too much, replacement batteries batteries after three years will cost more than the value of the car, the raw material necessary to produce EV batteries wreak havoc on the environment, the electric grid can't handle cold weather now, so how can it support 100 million electric cars?

I have no use for an electric vehicle. I travel across the country for work and it would take me forever to get to my locations if I had to stop and charge up my truck.

They are too expensive for the car AND to have a charging hook up put into my house would cost approximately $10,000. Who can afford that? Certainly not a disabled old woman like me. I'll keep my 2 gas efficient Ford SUVs. My husband agrees with me.

I already have a hybrid and love it!
ReplyI had electrical work done last year and put power in close to the driveway for my future hybrid or electric car.
ReplyYes! But only after this car wears out. In ten years. I think they’re a good idea.
ReplyNot an elextric but I own a hybrid.
ReplyI have PV on the roof producing most/all the household need s for electricity, hot water solar panels providing in floor heat. My 20 plus yr old 48 MPG (hwy) gas car is well past 200,000 miles, so this just seems the next step in what I can do towards helping preserve our mother planet
ReplyHybrid so i’d have the fossil fuel option.
ReplyIf the price is reasonable.
ReplyI like them and save the world
Replyits the way of the future!
ReplyIt's the price of one that is holding me back, mainly. I simply cannot afford a newer (used) car.
