EVs are cool, no doubt. They have come a long way, and some of them produce crazy power. A D/C electric motor produces near 100% torque from zero RPM up, so that is one huge advantage they have on internal combustion.
A buddy of mine who is a banker and finance guru bought an EV and he says it's saving him huge money in fuel costs. Seems like he told me his fuel costs last month was $14. So I think for shorter range or commuter cars, they can make sense right now.
But they still don't work for traveling of any distance, or for many commercial vehicles. EX:, my service vans. My guys can sometimes cover more than 200-300 miles a day, and then get an emergency call to go right back out. No recharge time. My installers cover four states. So straight EVs still won't work for us. It might be that an EV with an engine backup could be made to work, but that's just additional expense and weight, and generating electricity with an I/C engine kinda defeats the purpose.
I understand Amazon is going to try EVs, but they will have to make some changes. Right now, they run many of their vans 24 hours a day, so there would be no recharge time. It will be interesting to see how they handle this.
I still have concerns about us having the power grip capacity to support any significant numbers of EVs on the road. We have plenty of power around here, but parts of the country does not. And increased demand could drive rates up, which could offset any savings.
So yeah, lots of questions still, and I suspect our government is not thinking this through ( I know, that's a shocker).
