You guys are rite on target... an analysis stated that from the time the earth is stripped for minerals with(guess what) diesel fueled heavy equipment ,to the "china connection" ie batteries, disposal and fire related hazards, and oh ,electricity doesn't come from fairy dust? and they don't like nukes either so here we go ,back to combustion to charge the darn things... until it is put back in the ground, these 'toxic fireballs' as some have affectionately called them ,have a significantly greater carbon foot print than there petrol counterparts. then add to it limited range ,scarcity of charging stations ,thermal concerns(a recent Chicago headline described them as a "cemetery full of dead robots) ... sign me up!! or maybe not.
but in fairness, i hear the torque and acceleration is insanely nice ,so as a 100 mile Sunday toy, maybe they have a place, but for critical dependable daily transportation,
nah I'm not comfortable at all with it. nothing like the sound of your dependable old internal combustion friend firing up day or nite, hot or cold anytime, anywhere!!
