I drove exclusively pure electric (bmw i3) for 7+ years and it was far easier a transition than i ever imagined. Like 10x easier.
These titles with such FUD assertions prioritize drama and attention seeking over facts from years of data.
edit: these articles overlook that a huge percentage of daily around town driving recharges easily on the existing grid at 110v, but the articles tend to presume everyone need charge a depleted long range battery, daily, which is patently false.
- freetime2 4y agoYou seem to be speaking to your personal experience of transitioning to an EV, whereas the article is concerned with the scale of changes needed to transition the entire automotive industry to EVs in the 15 year timeframe that policymakers are targetting.
- jjtheblunt 4y agoYes, and thank you, because I should add (should have added) that i charged at 110 volts and the power draw is negligible on the grid, for most days. the interesting and oft overlooked reality is that EV use, and charging on the existing grid, is beyond adequate for a huge percentage of daily driver purposes.
