Eric, *Electrons beat gasoline* (heck any fossil fuel!) for cost of energy to propel your vehicle down the road. You keep repeating this statement because you think it's sounds clever, as if "electrons" sounds futuristic and "gasoline" sounds like something from the old days. In reality, you have no clue as to how much energy you can store in batteries vs. how much energy exists in the chemical bonds of hydrocarbons. These EV batteries are so heavy, even tire companies are profiting from the increased wear that EVs generate on the tires. Why Do Electric Vehicle Tires Wear Out So Quickly? The Switch To Electric Vehicles Means Changing Tires, Too: Michelin (Forbes) Conventional tires on an electric vehicle would probably *wear out 20% faster*, said Scott Clark, Michelin executive vice president, automotive, motorsport experiences and Americas Regions, during the online presentations. And all this for what? Shorter ranges, especially in cold weather? A need to plan any trip around the availability of charging stations? The prospect of having to swap out the LiIon battery after 80K miles, which will cost at least five digits? Wow, those electrons, they sure are something, aren't they? Tenchusatsu
