I'm ready to trade in my electric car.
Here's why

Rotten golf carts are just toys for rich folks who don't travel, except in their jets.

I wouldn't mind getting an EV for local use -- if it's cheap -- but for trips, an ICE is the only way to go and will be for the foreseeable future. This insane administration might be thinking that the power infrastructure will just magically increase to accommodate EVs, but on the other hand, it could all be a planned crisis. I'm sure the Feds are licking their socialist chops at the opportunity to take control of the energy/infrastructure sector.

Anyone who has kids and drives them around in a thing that has the chance of erupting into a blazing death trap like an EV is an idiot.

Idiot. Blind people like this were the reason that the green weenies thought they could pull this major scam on all of us.

He bought a horrible car. Yawn. I drove my Tesla all over California on full state trips. It didn't explode. It didn't take days to charge. It wasn't hard to find a charger. The only and I do mean only problem with EVs are the government trying to shove them down everyone's throat. It's a freedom of commerce and choice issue. When talking about things like how they're all going to explode and they take days to charge, no, just stop, stick to facts if you want to be taken seriously. They are not the right vehicle for every day long commutes, cross country travel, and a few other things but they have no problems for 90% of drivers. Again, this is a freedom issue. Stick to the facts or get dismissed.

What a moron - never has to buy gas, but has to find a working charging station and then sit for at least 1/2 hour to charge the car when a simple gasoline fill up takes five minutes. Must value her time at zero, and think the electricity is free also.

Oh and the Tesla is wicked fast. His piece of junk isn't out running muscle cars but a Tesla can. Mine has similar acceleration as my sports car. It is absolutely not a golf cart. YouTube is packed full of videos of Tesla demolishing some very expensive cars in drag races.

Think about how annoying it is to keep your phones and ipads charged up. Multiply that by 10x for a car. At least with a phone, you can tote a portable battery with you, if you're serious about keeping it available. If you've ever made the mistake of running out of gasoline, you know what a pain it is to get a gallon of gas to get you going again. Imagine trying to get a gallon of electrons to recharge your car on the side of the road.

If it's true what she says about charging stations- #5 seems to say it's not true- then it's hard to believe that the state can manage a transition from oil and gas if they can't do the easy part: building, maintaining, and operating charging stations. But liberals are great at starting something and never completing it and/or letting it fall to pieces when they move on to the next graft.

Ok, #5; for the sake of argument, I'll stipulate that everything you posted is one hundred percent true. "I drove my Tesla all over California on full state trips." California is roughly 750 miles north to south and around 400 miles wide. The published maximum range for the Tesla S is about 350 miles under ideal conditions. Did you make these full state trips without stopping to recharge? It may be possible, but not probable, but I believe you. It could happen. "It didn't explode." Quite fortunate for you. However, the fact that you had to mention that your car did NOT explode is indicative of something that is, at the least, an important issue. I have owned many ICE vehicles over my sixty-plus years. None of them exploded, either. Thumbs up to both of us. "It didn't take days to charge." Of course it doesn't take days to charge. I don't think anyone has said that it does. I agree, but how long did a full charge take with your car? It does, indeed, take much longer to recharge an EV that it does to refuel an ICE vehicle. I can fill my 2005 Acura in approximately five minutes and travel close to 650 miles without refueling and then refuel again in five minutes and travel ANOTHER 650 miles (if I'm up to it). "It wasn't hard to find a charger." Again, if you stay close to urban areas in California (not particularly difficult), I believe it would not be hard to find a charger. Not so in the rest of the country, especially in the wide open rural areas of states such as Texas, Montana, Wyoming, etc. Gas stations are on just about every corner in the country, so not only are they "not hard to find", they are difficult to miss. Further, I have never had to wait in line to use the pump. One more thing on that. Just recently, the governor of California asked EV drivers to refrain from charging their vehicles due to strain on the power grid. So, should you be fortunate enough to find that mythical charging station out in the middle of the Mojave, in the middle of the night; what will you do if the all-powerful government of the state has cut the power to that handy charging station? Good Luck. "The only and I do mean only problem with EVs are the government trying to shove them down everyone's throat." Now, I really do agree with that statement, but not all of it. The government does not have the legitimate power to force us to buy these things, but as in so many other areas of our lives, they are doing it anyway. But, come on, man! (HT, FJB) There are several problems with EVs and you know it. Don't be naive. I am sincerely pleased that you enjoy EV ownership. I wish you the best of luck and I will pray that your Tesla continues its tradition of "not exploding".

When she has to buy a new battery she will realize the folly of electric cars.

I'll never have to correct that error.

Drive in any metropolitan area and you will see thousands of vehicles parked overnight on side streets and apartment complexes often hundreds of feet from the owners’ homes. How are these people going to charge their cars? I have an EV as an extra vehicle but I also have a 3 car garage so it fairy easy for me but I don’t know how I would do it if I had to park on the street. Don’t get rid of the gas car- get rid of the politicians who want to get rid of the gas car.

Typical article written by a leftist in which they threaten to quit something, unless they get their way, which in this case is Federal spending on charging stations. As the saying goes, Mariel, "Men in hell want ice water." By the way, your electric vehicle is the product of slave labor in China. Do you care?

I think the Hybrids have a real place, but EV are specific use vehicles whose potential is only bright if price can be brought down, enviromental concerns (such as battery recycling and such) can be dealt with, faster chargng (empty to 100 in less than 15 minutes), and such. I live in Texas. Our local electric coop has an office down the road and has a car charging station in front. A couple of years ago, their monthly newsletter proudly stated that NINE unique visitors used it during a month (that's 9 people, some may have used it more than once that month). But the last half a dozen or so times I've driven around there, the charger has an 8x11 sign "OUT OF ORDER."

They’re big expensive toys. End of story. The people who want everyone to have one are Communists.

Just as the biased media omits reports of the tens of thousands of times every year that people defend themselves, family and property with guns, I feel certain their are myriads of events and issues with EVs which are not reported. The media is the propaganda arm of a certain political oarty.

He never has to buy gas----------------so, where does he find the free charging stations?

Hello! You didn't know that when you spent thousands on it?

She never has to buy gas, but how high is her electricity bill? And what about those brown-outs which happen frequently in CA? Our power was out for a couple of hours last weekend here in South Carolina but I could drive my car.

I won't buy one until it can carry two full sets of golf clubs and room for my beers and balls...don't go there, folks!
