Also the whole issue of where does the electricy to refuel these
electric cars come from
hasn't been addressed. When everyone pulls into their garage each
night and plugs their cars
into the in-house there will be a surge in demand. Does the
current
electrical grid have the
ability to service this demand? With everyone turning on their
electric applicances the
demand for electricty will be even greater. Also, do you really
want
a charging station in
your garage attached to your house? I don't the charging stations
have a habit of bursting
into flames igniting the house on fire. If you are not burning
gasoline and diesel in cars
and trucks then it will need to be burned at the power generating
station. Remember when the
wind stops and the sun goes down wind and solar are useless.

These are problems electric car fans seem to ignore.
Right now the nights are when power is cheap because that is a low
demand time but a significant number of cars hitting the grid
could
easily flip that.
You also have the road tax issue. They will need to replace that
money.

As long as these are fairly rare, it is a good thing for the rich
people who can afford to buy one of these toys but that would
change
quickly if it became a more commonly owned vehicle.

The only solution is to use the EZ-Pass system to record every
vehicle
passing an
intersection and charge them a road tax based upon their milage and
the weight of the
vehicle. This will require that the current gasoline and diesel
fuel
taxes will have to be
repealed.

They will not be repealed, they will just be added on to... They are
already testing systems like that, I "cited" that for loogie over a
year
ago... It was iirc, in Oregon... Testing a system which would tax
motorists based on a GPS in the cars black box... Swore your info
wouldn't get out btw.. LOL!

Perhaps the fee will double if you are towing a dirtbike.

Yuk, yuk... you add so much..

Shouldn't matter to you...according to one of your posts here, your
team
is the champion and therefore your sponsors should be paying your way,
right?

Yeah, sure... if you say so...
You claimed a champion.

Not quite, but I don't have time to play with you or your dirty friends...

No, not quite. You did.
