Internet yes. However there are multiple reports from reputable sites and the electric vehicle trend is visible
You're right, electric cars are visible especially in California where you can find a charging station. But, unless it's free electricity, it's not worth it. Consider this......converting fossil fuel to electric energy at a utility is usually 35% efficient with 65% being dumped into the environment as heat. There are Natural Gas turbines that can produce 50% of the energy in to electricity. Does it really make sense to do this?
Don't get me wrong....I would love to have a Tesla but driving 90 miles to the charging station in Baton Rouge and back to the house is insane to charge my electric vehicle. What I'm saying is that I would have to drive so far to get a charge for the work week only to get back to the house and say honey "I have to go and charge my car again".
Range anxiety is real for the drivers too. Let's say I plan to drive to Lake Tahoe from the Bay Area. It gets cold outside or even snows. Before you know it....it's like watching you cell phone battery die. The car protects itself by cutting off items such as the passenger heater. Now, you're cold and your car is about to die and maybe even lock you in the car because there isn't enough battery power to unlock the doors.
I could charge the car at the house but it's going to cost me in higher electric bills unless my electricity is free!
So, yes the electric vehicle trend is visible in certain states more than others but they aren't viable. Especially, when you have to change your battery at about the 7 year point for a large chunk of change.
Did you know Elon Musk really doesn't want to even be in the Electric Car business and would get out if he could. He's a Rocket Man. That's what he really wants. So, get on the signup sheet early for going to Mars where you don't have to worry about the internet info, gasoline, etc. Hope they have a Whole Foods store there even though I don't shop there either.
