That might work if we stop subsidizing oil and gas production. The market is not open and free.
Ok California. Now what?

Debunking Myths About Federal Oil & Gas Subsidies
In any presidential election year it is inevitable that candidates on both sides of the political spectrum will begin hailing or bashing tax breaks, subsidies, and regulations throughout the US business landscape.

Judge me.
Its actually pretty damn impressive, what guys are building now. 10 years from now, its anyones guess. Though stil, for practical pourposes, im a big block guy.
1 example where this wouldnt happen is if the competition already dominates the market and manipulates it. the rich dont believe in markets, they believe in profits, and they will manipulate it if it benefits them

Aside from slow charging stations, I like electric vehicles. As long as they have steering wheels. None of that self-driving insanity. The states really need to implement some sort of wireless charging into the interstates asphalt for vehicles to charge as they drive to make it feasible. Short of that its down to inventing a new super powerbank battery tech

You really think electrifying asphalt is the most feasible solution? LMFAO!

I know comprehension isnt really something you like to dabble in, but Ill try to break it down into two parts to help you digest it.
Options for making electric cars feasible:
-Option A: Wireless charging inlayed into interstate asphalt to charge as you travel
-Option B: Develop new powerbank system to increase travel distance/decrease weight
Reasons for being unfeasible:
-Long delays in charging stations availability
-Ignorant people of certainly no particular race sitting at the charging station and having full blown life-story conversations on their Obamafone
-In the event that the vehicle runs out of energy, you cant just grab a can and go get a gallon of energy. Youd have to bring enough batteries to power the entire high voltage system
people completely misquote the wealth of nations. markets can be corrupted and dominated.

Tesla has made battery technology to rival gasoline engine miles per tank. They've also made charging technology available for homes. Ttku....
And when it comes time to recharge, what then?
You can refill a gas tank in just a couple of minutes.
How long does it take to charge that battery?
Uh huh.
Try reading. Again.
"How ******LONG******* does it take to charge that battery?

It will get faster and faster! Did you know they use to pump gasoline into cars? Hand pump.

Current Tesla superchargers can get you about 50% in 20 mins. So a few hundred miles of range while you grab lunch on a road trip. Or take a longer break of about an hour for a full charge. If you use an EV as a daily driver you’ll be charging at home mostly so it doesn’t really matter.
This is incorrect.
I went directly to Tesla's website, and put in an (admittedly long) road trip that my father used to go on as a kid.
19 hour drive to Florida.
Tesla is giving an estimate of 31 hours for the same trip, based on the charging times.
Using their standard range Model X.
Using a 3 hour 15 minute road trip I used to go on multiple times a summer turns into a 4 hour 17 minute trip, as per their calculator.
That is inconvenient.
I'm a proponent of electric vehicles.
I think the technology will surpass gas vehicles naturally, if you idiots would just leave it alone.
But it just isn't there yet.
And trying to force people to get on board just proves the point that it *is* still currently inferior.

You’re whining about an hour? Like everything else it will get better and better. You think the car is today what it was 80 years ago? So silly.

Nobody is forcing anyone at this point. Ttku...
California passed legislature to force people to switch over to electric in the future.
Your argument is wrong, and you are looking for a fight. I made a legitimate point, and was not trolling.
You are the second person to make my ignore list.
