 I understand what you are saying, but I still don’t like EVs because I hate being dependent on electricity… in a world where solar energy is easy and abundant everywhere and wind generated energy is easy and cheap to tap into… sure, but that is definitely not the case in a lot of areas especially in northern regions where there are quite often weather related power outages, lack of sunlight for weeks and wind is not an easily harnessed resource… but you are also forgetting that ethanol can be produced at home and also biodiesel vehicles exist… also wood alcohol vehicles have been made and used one of the guys on the Mountain Men show drove around for a couple seasons in a truck powered by wood alcohol… EVs have a long way to go in my opinion to be the best option.
