Ending the talking points of the thinktankers is crucial to the acceptance of this 150 year old technology of which there are many but the point here is range anxiety.
The big one that they must not ever mention is that EV motors have one moving part compared to hundreds in an internal combustion engine.
That being said then,why does an electric motor cost as much as a typical engine?
How often should one change the oil?
How often should you change the spark plugs and air filter on an EV?
If it costs $360.00 per year to charge at home then what will be buy with that extra money or on a national scale,what could we use $400,000,000.00 for?
Answer:Not oil or gasoline.
Hmmmm.
