Cost of Driving an EV

Consider:
1. The current load on the electric grid just for homes and businesses, and it’s only going to grow. Adding vehicles will really overload the grids
2. The fact that many “green” states already have programs removing hydro, coal, gas and nuke power plants. This is creating increasing demand on the remaining sources of electricity.
3. Wind doesn’t always blow, and no one, especially the Greenies and the rich, connected people in certain upscale coastal
communities, want to see them all over formerly open land and off shore. And the windmills are known to kill birds.
4. The sun will not always be optimum and solar farms are land intensive. Solar farms collect a lot of heat, which is mostly fatal to the native plants and animals.
5. The solar panels and batteries use rare earth minerals that are usually mined in 3rd world countries under very sketchy conditions.

All of these concerns are very real and may eventually be overcome, but we aren’t there yet.
