OK qflyer, you're dug it that EVs are great. I'm not against them, and think they are very practical and useful for running-around-town driving. For me, a plug-in hybrid is the best solution, and the RAV4 prime was on my short list before buying an ICE Subaru last year. A big part of the decision was not wanting a NMC chemistry battery in my garage. My beef is the government shoving it on people instead of letting market forces work. If the government succeeds with mass adoption my intuition is there will be a huge crisis with the power grid that will take many years and billions of $ to fix. These lefty government people push for their dreams without worrying about the details or unintended consequences. We got a demonstration a week ago with the fed chairman saying 'I think we now understand better how little we understand about inflation,' A top monetary expert admitting he was an idiot and didn't know shit about the consequences of his policies. With the grid, those government experts are now telling us to not worry, that the grid can handle it and/or it will evolve to handle the extra load just fine. Same story, just change out the details.
