There’s been a lot of negative news around EV’s lately. Hertz slowing down their Tesla purchase, Ford postponing its investment, GM just continuing to make the absolute dumbest decisions with their EV’s, Toyota well being Toyota. Maybe I am over reacting but it feels like we are reaching some critical mass here and it feels bleek.

    First, most that want an EV have already bought theirs.

    Also, some hate charging at charging spots because most are more expensive than charging at home. So, some ONLY charge at home. When those who put out the charge stations don’t make money (because some charge only at home), they slow down or stop creating new charge points. And everyone knows the charging system infrastructure isn’t quite there yet.

    I’m still hesitant to buy a full EV because of this and lack of range. I currently drive a plug-in hybrid (and love it) and do almost all charging at home.

    The time is coming soon where we will get a 1000 mile battery. And if charging stations can somehow actually make money (and therefore creating more charging stations), I believe sales will take off again.

    Until then, I’m still waiting for a company to release a 150-mile range plugin hybrid. Don’t know if it will ever happen.
