EV technology is not ready for prime time, as mining for battery materials and production of batteries is more damaging to the environment than fossil fuel production, EV performance drops drastically with the temperature, long drives are not practical as the batteries require lengthy recharges, and battery fires are quite intense and difficult to put out. This is not even addressing the ecological nightmare when batteries are discarded en masse in landfills, and the requirement to replace the battery pack when the car is still quite usable, driving up the resale cost. When these issues are resolved, EV's may well indeed be the standard, but until then, leaping about and having great joy over them is, shall we say, premature.EVs and other alternative energy cars are the future. Fossil fuels are on the way out. Cons can moan, groan, throw tantrums, stomp their feet and cry like babies, but all they are doing are pissing in the wind. The future is set.
