Cyclist just handed your ass to you, best to stop with all the BS. EVs are the future no matter what you say. What make of EV do you own? At least cyclist admits he doesn’t own one and won’t own one. Kinda makes you wonder don’t it?😂

31 pages. Impressive. So are they dead yet? Have you been convinced to buy one or not buy another one?

EV owners need to pay some kind of tax to build and maintain the public roads and highways they use. I have no issue with that.

No matter how it is done, ev need to pay road tax.
But let's take gas taxes as a example. There is a state and federal component.
That would be hard to separate out in ev.
Base the tax on milage or kwh hrs used. I'd like to see it on kwh used for vehicle use. That way it would give a idea of how much electricity is used for vehicle. Then you could get a insight into electrical grip and capacity needed.
If it was done at the charge plug, but had some way of determining if home charging or charge station was used.
Yes it will be tricky to figure out as the power companies/charge stations will bill and submit to state/fed.
But fuel is fuel..makes no diffrence if lp,gas,diesel,or electrons.. If a vehicle is used on roads user should pay for maintenance.
Some who charge off grid may grumble, but ev agricultural use I don't see a valid exemption at this point.

EVs are still in their infancy, I am confident all issues will be resolved.

EVs are still in their infancy, I am confident all issues will be resolved. The advances in battery chemistry are coming at high speed. The technology of the cars is improving exponentially. It won't be long before there is an average range of over 700 miles per 100% charge.

Once they learn how to power cars with nuclear fuel they will be obsolete.

I have no problem with EVs. I just don’t want to be forced into buying one until they get to a level where they can actually compete with ICEs for range and charging availability. I don’t think it’s going to happen in the near future though. But to say that they are more environmentally friendly is something I am still skeptical of.

EV’s fit most people’s lifestyle unless you are doing frequent long road trips or pulling a boat or trailer. Only issue on my side is they are too expensive. Just drove from FL to Texas , every Buckees has a charging station.

Tony, while you are boatless, I am not.
So considering the 5 trailers I have, 2 are double axle, 3 single axle, ranging in length from 35 feet to 12 feet a ev does not fit my needs at present. The F 350 does..it hauls/tows all of it with ease..60 gallon fuel tank is nice..especially towing the 35' camper. For those folks whose needs are met by a ev, fine..I'm glad for them.. But they do not fit everyone's needs..
