The infrastructure for a lot of rural America is not there to support EVs. The closest charger to me is 100 miles away. There’s a town 30 miles away that got grant money to put in a whole two chargers at a gas station.
I am totally ready to be all in on EVs, but I also would like something faster to charge my car than the few hours I could do off a 50 amp circuit in my house. When the closest Walmart is 30 miles away and closest department store is 100 miles away, a 250 to 300 mile range vehicle definitely brings range anxiety to front of everyone’s mind.
That’s not even mentioning the fact that I just remodels my house and spent the money to put a 50 amp outlet outside by my driveway. Any other house where I live would require a construction crew to be ready for that kind of power requirements.
Hybrids are dinosaurs. If we have to drag you both kicking and screaming into the 21st century, you can go extinct along with them.
