[QUOTE="smurfslayer, post: 1822449, member: 21926"] Electric power would be a viable choice if range was about 75-100% better across the board, but it’s not. As it is, I could use an electric truck for local trips, but not sure how I’d be traveling with one. But let’s assume for the sake of discussion that there will be mass adoption of electrics in the coming decade. “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction" At 5% adoption, you’ll hear mutterings of charge restrictions, when you can charge, how much. At 10% adoption, rules, regulations and laws will be discussed. Also, Utility companies will cry for mercy from the taxpayers. Rate hikes will ensue, taxes will be raised to “improve the infrastructure” to support EV charging. We’ll be paying for electric vehicles whether we like it or not. We already are, we’ll just be paying more. It’s fine to be a Hollywood EV huckster, but in states with real winters and real cold, EV power won’t be that big of a hit. Minnesota is already whining about their proposed adoption of CA regs - several states follow CA emissions standards and are now faced with deciding if they can and should follow the mandatory no new ICE sales CA is adopting.
