Yes, the whole world must comply with our way of life, no matter if our grandkids have no clean air or water

The 1970’s called. They want their clean air and water argument back.

How long does it take to recharge an electric car with one of the fast chargers? If traveling across the Country, is recharging as fast as filling a fuel tank or is there significant down time to recharge? I also wonder what the cost of electricity will be when the States stop getting all the tax dollars they are now collecting from a gallon of gas or diesel. Will taxes imposed on electricity to make up that difference in revenue make our home electricity bill become so high that many won't be able to afford it? Many low income families get their electricity shut off frequently now. I can't imagine what it will be like for them in 2035. What will the cost of gas, diesel, propane and home heating oil be because of less demand? What about the Amish community? They don't use electricity and they won't be able to afford petroleum products. I'm not against making our planet a safer and healthier place but are proponents of ending fossil fuel use thinking everything through? Have we done everything we can to reduce emissions in vehicles so gas and diesel can still be used?

Can’t answer most of those questions. But the first one I’ll take a shot at from from personal experience point of view. EV’s take longer to charge than filling a tank. At least with present technology. Different makes and models take different lengths of time. There is no simple answer. Generally speaking an 800 kilometers travel day takes us no longer or shorter than it did when we travelled the same trip with our Jeep Grand Cherokee. But we travel a little different. We still take two 10 or 15 minute pee/coffee breaks and a 20 minute lunch break. The only difference is we charge during those times. I can’t testify to longer days as we try to avoid anywhere over about 800 or so kilometers. This is in a Tesla model 3 AWD. We haven’t travelled long distances in other EV’s. so don’t know what that’s like.
Hope that helps.

Last week in Texas proved how vulnarable the power grid is.
X2, and not thinking with the whole brain.
Currently electric "Appears" to be the big savior, but it is the hidden, not thought out consequences that is the issue.
Highways, pay per mile, but how to track?
The Grid, will it be ready.
Solar, fantastic in the southern states, but the further north, the less efficient.
Then what about ice storms? Texas, and parts of Oregon and Washington, were hit with ice storms in the last several weeks.
Then there is the producing and disposal of the batteries to operate.
Pay per mile can be tracked with each cars odometer,no?
All batteries can be recycled just as we do now.
Northern parts such as Alberta and Manitoba get enough sunshine even in winter to make solar feasible.
West coast BC not so much
If we can put men in space I would think we can make the grid work too,
btw isnt Texas grid separated from other states?

I know plenty of people who drive their trucks to their off grid hunting camp, ride around in the mountains all week, etc. Where exactly are they going to recharge? Logging companies, farmers, ranchers, excavators, etc. all regularly operate motor vehicles, particularly 1500 trucks, in very remote areas with no electrical infrastructure for long periods of time.
This will likely drive 1500 truck buyers to 2500 and larger trucks making them even more expensive for us working stiffs who need them to make a living, not just cruise around town looking cool.
What do you mean no charging station- All those outlying vehicles will have a built in gas generator to charge batteries, and a build in gas tank to run it. No problem ![[emoticon]](https://forums.goodsamclub.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/smile.gif "smile") Just find a gas station to fill your generator tank so you can charge your EV and drive it.
Fun aside, as we work towards that technology, we also need to understand it's not an over night shift. And we must first perfect the charging ability and more importantly, the root source of that energy. Otherwise, we're just spinning our wheels, literally.

Well odometers can be altered, they would need to be sealed in some manner.
Well recycling of lithium is just getting started.
Solar there is a difference between feasible and efficient.
Well we were without power here in western Oregon for nine days, others are still without power, and still many lines down.
