Default Re: The Trouble with EV (or, why hybrids ROCK!)

Sweet-a-er-person*

I agree that an electric will never be a one for one replacement for a gas vehicle. That said electrics can still have a place. You might not want to take one cross country but how about to work every day? An EV with only a 50 mile range would get me to work and any other place I typically go in a single day and then back home again. Once home an EV can charge overnight.

Is your cell phone useless because it does not charge up in one minute flat? How far do you typically drive on a normal work day? I submit most could use an EV to get to work and if they need a car for long distance they can have a second vehicle or rent one. Of course this would not work for everybody but think of how many it WOULD work for.

*note:

I normally respond with the first part of a person's log in name followed by "dude". For example: bwilson4web becomes: bwilson-dude or perhaps wilson-dude or maybe Bob-dude. Sweet-Cynthia-Dude just doesn't work (I'm sure you agree). Perhaps you can help me to keep my reply "style" when replying to the fairer sex? Dudette?
