I’ve been thinking similar recently, the more I think about electric taking over the more it seems a terrible idea.

I’m pretty dire at maths but it’s easy enough to roughly work out what chaos would be caused by every car owner charging a car every night just based off your current electric usage and the cost of ‘filling’ these cars.

Also, if it’s all about the environment why are these electric cars not as slow as possible? They should be as light and slow as possible to sip on that battery. People seem to think it’s fine to drain a tesla doing drag launches and charging it up every 5 mins! In the US 64% of their electricity comes from burning fossil fuel!

I don’t buy it to be honest. Best thing we could do is limit the amount of kids people churn out.
