Too much too fast, been saying it all along. We should still be in the “Range Extended EV” phase right now, cars like the Volt where you’ll never use a drop of gas on your daily commute but if you need to drove 800 miles you can just fill the gas tank as needed (and it still gets 40mpg).
Full EV, until charging becomes as fast and convenient as filling a gas tank, is not practical for anything but a strict commute in well developed areas. And as it turns out, a whole bunch of the country isn’t quite up to speed on even basic EV infrastructure let alone a charging grid that can handle fast and convenient charging on par with gas station refueling, and as such, they still need gas engines.
Too much, too fast. We are not ready for a full transition to EV and I feel like we’ve just set ourselves backward by jumping the gun instead of embracing the intermediate tech… which I believe happened because people made fun of the Volt for some reason.
