Too early I think.
It will make sense once we have a surplus of electricity from renewable energies, but right now it's
>burn fossil fuels to produce electricity
>use electricity to drive car
Great, you added a fucking extra step and thus a loss of efficiency.
Electric cars are the only way to move a country off being reliant on coal generated electricity because during times of low power generation your car can sell electricity from its batteries back to the grid.
with enough electric car density we could have a grid that could run the night on electric cars alone.
I just got drivers lisence and with my budjet there's no chance i can ever afford a ecar. Fml if government starts taxing petrol cars heavily
They are fine for old women who drive to the supermarket and that's about it

But they are our best bet at electric cars though. And they have significant government support, which means if anyone can succeeds in the industry its them. Also aren't they planning an affordable electric car? One that will be made for the masses?
Its not about environment its about getting off the oil. Coal will and is being replace with renevable energies. but that shouldn't mean electric cars shouldn't be build.
They'll make electric cars cheaper at that time. Currently tech is not ready for the push but once USA gets off oil addiction it will get significant boost.

If they come out with a bare-bones model with a minimalistic closed-shell ecu in a Faraday cage and no lsd/traction control, I'll consider having one in addition to my twin-turbo RX-7 FD3S and silvertop-powered Trueno GT-Apex.
Electric/gasoline cars using the same tech as the Mclarin P1 are the future. Electric motors and batteries assisting a gas engine to make it more efficient and powerful are appealing and a delightful evolution. The straight electric car has a very long way to go to become consumer friendly.
I hope I do not live to see the day the last gas station closes shop.
this. new cars are all gay, i don't care what it is or how much it costs. even motorcycles are getting cucked.
They're nice for short range commuter driving, but not good for much else at the moment. We need better battery tech or for the motors that drive them to somehow become incredibly more efficient.
