I would guess the biggest or at least one of the biggest drawbacks is going to be distribution of power cells. If the manufacturers could get together and decide on one standardized battery pack this could be swapped out at thousands of stations across the country in a minute or two that would go a long way to making these things practical. But like different sets of midi sounds from every manufacturer of synthesizers back in the old days it's not going to be done peacefully. Of course once they all decide on I set of General midi sounds it was like taking the chains off.

I don’t think they will standardize the batteries. Ford, GM, Toyota, Honda will all have their own systems
And it sure isn’t in their interest to make the batteries easily changed. They want you to go the dealership so they can charge $75 an hour for labor
Cars are already that way. Most newer cars, a normal person can’t change the spark plugs anymore. My Ford doesn’t even have a dipstick for the transmission. You have to take off the front tire and remove a plug to check it. Plus you can’t get to the last spark plug with out removing all the emissions crap and loosing the engine mounts and tilting the engine

No Doubt. We know it's more about the Do-Re-Me than it is about the 'viremint. But you have to fill up your car a hell of a lot more often then you have to change your spark plugs or your transmission fluid. Imagine the pain in the ass if it takes x amount of hours and you can only go to go to x amount of charging stations.

I was at a Sheetz in Beckley Wv and they had 8 charging stations for electric vehicles. And not 1 of them had a vehicle actually charging
They said Tesla on them. Not sure if you can only charge Tesla cars there
Just wasting parking spaces ?

Also, if the cars become completely electric, isn’t that going to cause us to burn more coal to get more electricity for these cars?
I live in WV, and they don’t believe in renewable energy here. It’s all coal down here!

I think there are adapters for all electric vehicles. Problem being who knows how long it takes to charge up your car? 5 minutes to pump gas. Who wants to sit around for an hour when you run out of charge even if there is a station?
PS one thing I used to love about visiting my old Old Homestead in Carrollton in winter was occasionally being able to smell coal smoke.

Only 1 mine near me, and it’s closed. All the coal that goes to the power plant in my town either comes on barges in the Ohio river, or by train. Either way it arrives via a huge diesel engine
We ride side by sides down here now. You rarely see any dirt bikes. Occasionally a quad runner

We've come a long way in 100+ years ?

My wife’s son had a Prius, given to him by his hippie father. The batteries had to be replaced 2 times. The second time he said screw it and bought a non-hybrid. I think it was around $5000 with labor

Didn't know that - we rode back in the late seventies. One time, my cousin and I went and rode an AMA enduro on Big Walker Mountain.
It wsa crazy. Miles out, I was trying to catch with my cousin (fat chance - he also ran motorcross with his penton), I was really going on a mountain ridge. Then my revs went way high, and I went off a mountain knoll and hit a tree in the woods, about 10 feet high. Sprained by back really bad, laid there with my suzuki on top of me, til a cleanup crew found me. Turns out, the red danger ribbon had been broken by someone who wrecked and it snapped away. I never saw it. rhododendrons were in bloom. So, he drove my van back to WV, and I had to drive back to ohio. I was in the Air Force, and had to get back by Monday morning or I would be in trouble.
I made it. My commander walked back to my desk and asked me what happened, I said I slipped on the stairs. on my way into work.
Yep, I lied out of desperation. Commander grinned, looked at me sideways, "pretty bad back injury for just slipping on the stairs". I"m pretty sure he knew I lied. lol
At least there were no slag piles in Va.

I rode dirt bikes way back in the late 70’s to early 80’s. Too dangerous now. I’m told old to be wrecking like that
I’ll stick with my buggy, as they are called down here, it seats 4 people and will pretty much go through anything

NICE ride. I love our ATV's. I want a ride like that. Or, at my age, even a gator, but it doesn't have the quickness to get through mud.
Honestly, being from N. Ohio, I learned to ride in the WV mountains about an hour from Beckley. And I've wrecked every way possible more than once.
Quit riding them decades ago. It's a young man's game to get beat up like that. Maybe we'll trade in our two ATV's and get one of those.

well, by golly, let's just start mass producing warp driven cars that run on CO,
and photosynthesize and emit o2 tomorrow!

But I don't see a link so why don't you tell me in your own words the difference between the convenience of a gas station 5 minute fill up available on just about every corner and the availability compared to of charging stations and how long it takes?

The time it takes to charge an electric car can be as little as 30 minutes or more than 12 hours. This depends on the size of the battery and the speed of the charging point. A typical electric car (60kWh battery) takes just under 8 hours to charge from empty-to-full with a 7kW
I will gladly take my gasoline powered car

Remember you're also charging every time you park in your garage and plug in. You more often than not wouldn't run to E like you would with gas, and you'd have the ability to "fill up" at home unlike gas.

Specifically, the price of electricity will skyrocket by 7.5% tomorrow, which will triple the cost of the same day last year, when an average daily price of 45.1 euros per MWh was recorded.
