Don't forget - because of the shitty infrastructure people's home chargers will need to coordinate in order to stagger charging in your neighbourhood. Which will also control who is allowed to charge and when...

Gas will be super cheap. They can't stop making gas while still making plastics and cosmetics and oil and grease and fuel for plane and ships.

They'll just regulate ownership of IC vehicles to make it increasingly onerous.

As long as we keep printing money the price of oil will rise because the price of a barrel is in dollars..  If the price doesn't rise high or fast enough they'll increase fuel taxes so it will.

This statement staggers the imagination.

Most new cars, for that matter

2008 master race

I can't wait for our socialist overlords to ban the IC engine completely.  Then, we can buy food from china instead of having people in this nation raise crops.  It will be wonderful.

Something else else, where are we going to get all those solar panels and wind turbines?  As in, where will they be manufactured?

9 years and Tesla still can't tow a 2,000lb trailer less than halfway across the country.  ICE cars were rushed to market at the turn of the century due to an actual demand from people traveling outside their cities, industry moving goods farther from the manufacturing plants, etc, etc, etc....farther than a horse could travel, and more stuff than a team and wagon could carry.  America was booming, subdivisions were being formed, cities were expanding...the bicycle and horse were not cutting it anymore.  

It doesn't have to be "perfect" like you claim, but there is nothing a EV does better than an ICE vehicle.  Demand for them is created solely by government regulations.  They are a 'solution' looking for a problem.

Only because you bought a whole bunch of stuff to do it and already have that stuff.  You can make and store your own hydrocarbon fuel with some pretty low tech stuff.

Add a video of a hoverboard bursting into flames.

Smoking crack, dude.  We only ever dismantle nuclear plants now.  We don't build new ones.  Nevermind is the safest, most powerful, cleanest, and most reliable form of energy on the planet.  Nope, we like wind mills and solar panels, because nothing says, "I'm a cuckity cookoo for cocopops" like making your energy at the mercy of the almighty.  And they say liberals don't like God.

Mining and production of lithium and all kinds of rare earth metals to support "green" technology is causing huge environmental damage.

I had to make sure these were released to the public. Saw a guy working on a home made version. both of these stories are old, but show the doe working on a few projects. The fuel cell dude says Honda is top of the game. bio fuel is a way off from what I saw, but I don't work in those fields.

Especially when China does it.  Lithium and cobalt are also mined in conflict zones by literal slave labor.

Fast charging batteries is an improvement.  But the second issue is power.  Most homes have a 150 amp service.  Charging a 100kw battery with 100w still would take 1hr.  The easy fix is to have a battery bank do the charging, and recharge it as power is available - but that works for a single car.  Even a small gas station tends to have 4 pumps and can fill 40-50 cars an hour.  That much power is more than 1/2 the electricity my town currently uses - I can not really imagine needing a completely new set of transmission lines to each small gas station - each gas station would all but need their one substation.  Buckees would need a power plant next door.

We would need to completely rethink our current grid.  Honestly unless we start putting mini reactors under the station - I hardly see this happening anytime soon.  Have not heard much about container sized nuclear power plants for a while - and OMG the dems would never allow that.  A half dozen years ago or so did read about 1mw modular plants - but crickets since then.  But honestly, my home town probably has over 100 houses with 100amp services.  1,000,000 watts - That is what a new electrical "gas" station would almost need (or several stations, if they could average load over 24hrs).  Buckees would need a few...

Wonder - does commercial transportation use more gas now than private vehicles?  Imagine needing to fast charge all the tractor trailers and trains...

Get back to me when they are actually in large scale service, tard.

Buckees are not everywhere.  I have never seen one but need to research it for future travels.

"Buc-ee's is a chain of convenience stores and gas stations with 39 locations in Texas, Alabama, and Georgia."  

I may never see one.

Doubt it.  What's it take to charge in 5 minutes?  240v @ 400 amps?

What's that cost to put one at home?  And Can I get a roadie so I can take it to the wilderness?

Enough to run a subway car?

I don't mind the idea of electric cars.

what bothers me is the connectivity-based technology that is going to allow manufacturers (and therefore government) to control electric cars remotely via pushed software updates.

no one is going to build an EV that isn't connected.  therefore you won't really own it.
