I don't even have access to paved roads, the post office doesn't deliver out here we have use a PO box, there's no public utilities and they think I'm going to have somewhere to charge an EV?

The other problem with EV is they're throw away cars. Once that battery depletes few if anyone is going to replace them it's to expensive. All batteries eventually deplete it's just a question of how slow the degrading process is. If EV is the future your EV will become like your iphone, you'll finance it for 3 years by the time it's almost paid off it's outdated and the battery isn't holding a charge so you'll have to upgrade to the next model.

I see hybrids as a more doable future. We've figured out the hybrid cells as an industry and they can gap the bridge from where we are now to where we want to be in the future. Just need to do a better job with the eco turbos those are still giving most manufactures trouble.
