There is no infrastructure for EV cars compared to traditional gasoline. Plus the power grid isn't ready. For example in China they use battery swap by NIO and other companies to swap the entire battery out in about 3 minutes. No need to even get out the car.

I agree
You might get canceled for saying electric cars are not the future
Oh well, I’m not worried about that. they are not the future.
Good stuff
Until the inverter craps out and you get handed an $8,000 bill. Or the battery. Or both.
What do you think the bill will be for the battery of an EV?
Depends on the brand and the labor to install.
I think electric will be the future, eventually. It’s still a ways off. Hybrids are the near future.
392 jeep is the way to go buddy

Like I said ac way under $100.00
You know what JEEP stands for !
