EVs are some extreme kind of false advertising from the get go. All of the fossil fuels used to create the cars, charging stations, and the electricity to charge them are not included in the "efficiency" of the product. We have some relatives with disposable income and they fell for the "green" propaganda and bought an EV. They started experiencing range anxiety after leaving the garage with 80 mile range shown on the dash then coming out of church on a cold day and the range indicated as 18 miles. Range Anxiety baby. They were worried they would not make it home and freeze to death in the car. The next day they went out and bought a Toyota hybrid Highlander. Range anxiety cured. They discovered the EV trade in value was almost half of what they paid for the EV just months before.
Wow! Say it ain't so. But maybe in a few years, chargers will be everywhere. This is a chicken and egg problem.
best, Larry
