Good thought provoking post but electric vehicles will never work without the supporting infrastructure. I see a lot of posts here about how big of a cable do I need to run the 15 hp motor on my auger or something. Can you imagine how big of a cable it would take to run a 500 hp semi because it would take that same size cable to charge it if charge time and run time were both say 8 hours. The previous administration was shutting down coal-fired power plants and building worthless windmills while pushing electric vehicles. Electricity doesn't just come out of thin air...... at least not yet.
check out Elon musks electric semi if you think it can’t be done. It’s pretty impressive, I’d say.
