What do you all think of Electric Vehicles?

They're not really practically in many areas of the US. We don't have charging stations all over like gas stations. We have weather which can impact the batteries. If you're stuck in a traffic jam from an accident in the winter for 12 hours or more what do you do for heat? This actually happens several times a year in various parts of the country.

Then there's the whole mining lithium thing. The whole recycling thing. There's a great deal of environmental concerns with the batteries. Can the power grid support an increase in the number of people charging vehicles? Many communities struggle to keep the power on in a heatwave. There's a great deal of infrastructure that needs to happen to make these vehicles an every day reality. They're finally making batteries that can go for 200 miles. Still not enough for some of my day trips and vacations. There aren't any charging stations in campgrounds in the mountains. Can't tow anything with them either so that's a problem. I already drive a hybrid and it's got a ton of problems. I'm not really impressed with these vehicles based on my own experience of driving this SUV for 3 years.
