Comment Probably not. (Score 3, Interesting) 101

My experience with "eco centric people full of zeal", is that they actually support a ton of really bad things... It all depends what the "current trend" is.

For example: Industry bad. It's dirty. Get it out. (that is, we need it, could you send it to a different country with cheap child slave labor?) etc.

They don't consider what it takes to switch away from plastics (world wide)... and in all fairness, the vast majority would not accept their new world. They just wouldn't.

i full expect this to get clobbered here, and it only goes to justify my position. Just saying.

As I watched the IBM executives destroy the company, and create many, many , many, many empty wastelands of campuses (future video game stuff)....

IBM c-series and 99% of those claiming to be "important".... please do the right thing and eliminate the root cause of the problem.

Sincerely, "the people who made you all that money"

EVs are not meant for "remote charging", not yet, not by a long shot. Will that day come? Maybe, but we're are very very very very far away today.

Quick charging requires "temperate" weather. Charging stations have to be reliable (no vandals, for example, yes... vandals). Stations, because even "fast" ones take longer than a fillup (in most cases), need to remember to take care of their patrons (possibly increased security, etc.), there will need to be more "avenues" of "success" when you reach an EV charging station (going to have to think outside the box), etc.

Can you imagine, today, if everyone on the coast of the USA in a hurricane prone area had to evacuate and "the dream of EV" was true across the populace, and all those cars are locked in "forever" traffic are trying to escape???

We will see EV deaths, possibly lots of them, in the coming years, and all would not have happened if the person had not being driving an EV.

Feel free to ponder. I get the "idea" of why you "believe" EV is the "savior of the world", I think it needs quite a bit of work. Quite a bit.
