Well, That’s One Way to Sell Americans on Electric Cars. The U.S. has been wary of EVs. As the cost of gas soars, we’re now paying the price. (www.theatlantic.com)

You'll notice I did not argue against that point at all, not having charging at home is a huge downside and would play a big part in if someone should buy an EV or not.

"OuR gRiD cAN'T taKE iT" on the other hand is not a valid argument

    Yes, agreed. That grid nonsense is something you see parroted by people who would never, ever drive an EV in the first place.

    In the words of Gene Wilder, "You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know... morons."
