Not just that but the vehicles are also significantly heavier meaning more energy overall needed to move them, more wear on the roads, more rubber pollution from their tires wearing down, more landfill waste from their wheel motors burning out fairly quickly and more hazardous waste from the creation and disposal of the battery packs.
yep, the list goes on and on.
I am all for innovation and for that to happen there needs to be consumer adoption but not FORCED adoption pushed by the government. The market will deliver what the people want. About 50% of EV owners say they are going back to a gas car for their next vehicle.
It was pushed too much, too fast and without proper infrastructure to support it. Hell, the entire US grid would collapse if there was only something like ~18% of population adoption of EV's (or I think that was the number I read, I could be wrong, I don't have that source available at the moment).
