Oh dear, yes, there's a lot of rubbish spoken about electric cars. The question of tail pipe or power station generated CO2 is easily addressed, EV's produce less even when you include that at the power station. Less is less. Countries that embrace EVs, for example Norway, show everyone does NOT charge at the same time thereby bring down the grid. People charge mainly at existing fuel stations, shopping malls and at work where fast 70kwh chargers are installed. Most people do not charge at home because 70kwh chargers are not practicable. If they do charge at home, it is only small 'top up' charging. The accepted wisdom for EVs is to charge enough for the journey or around 75%. This is because using current fast chargers, the batteries can be charged to 75% capacity in about an hour with the last 25% (to 100%) taking almost as long again. In the US Tesla's are showing just a 2 or 3% battery degradation after 100,000 miles. Even older Nissan Leaf's in the UK are showing minimal battery degradation after 75,000 miles. Hydrogen cars are most certainly not going to happen, ever.
Basic rule of the site. Anything personally offensive just gets edited straight out.
