I’m saying this is why EVs aren’t and won’t be mainstream anytime soon. How many years did it take for the gas car to become mainstream? And the main reason was that no one could easily acquire gas, gas stations were few and far between.
And now a new issue dealing with EVs is the fact that the gas tanks are so expensive (batteries), and how we deal with that is to make them a standard size and type so we can mass produce the heck out of them until they are cheap like a real gas tank is! And one of the benefits of this would be that they could recharge them at night when electricity is cheapest. Keep in mind one of the biggest issues with electricity production is the lack of storage during off-peak times, this would induce a huge amount of electric storage as more and more EVs hit the street.
As an engineer, I’m just trying to explain to GM and others where they are missing the boat! I guess it takes a Civil engineer to tell a Mechanical engineer how to be practical!
