...and there will be no savings derived from them. Miles driven will be taxed, electricity used to charge them will become highly taxed. Dollars saved from not buying gas will be eaten up in a heart-beat by the state and fed tax bureaucracy. Technology is available that could even limit the amount of time you are allowed to spend on the road. (Use public transportation when they deem it appropriate). You will not see any type of economy. Not to mention the whole EV industry is dependent on government subsidies and rebates that will not be around forever. "Hands-Free Driving" will usher in government control of your car as a necessary safety move.
No thanks. It's not just the power source, it's Big Brother's control of your transportation that is the real goal of EVs. Think of On-Star on steroids.
EVs are a gargantuan boon-doggle in the making.

LOL you’re afraid of OnStar. If hat is true I totally understand your post.........don’t agree with any of it but understand where you’re coming from.
By the way, having worked with OnStar and it’s data nothing to be afraid of) you should be so afraid of your phone you keep it in a lead box.
And the point of EVs isn’t saving money, it’s simply emissions, and in many comparisons a better propulsion solution. The last hang up is simply charging time and infrastructure.
