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

ah.... riding dirt bikes up into the mountains of WV, the slag piles eeking out wisps of smoke. The aroma........... lol
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

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.

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!
We'd need to invest in other green energies

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

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.

Data on how long it takes to charge an EV is available online. Based on the charging station and battery.

Everything is available online.
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.

I’d still rather have a vehicle that runs on good old petro

Who the heck do you........sissy FEEL is going to pay for your extremely HIGH electric bill?
You are a really STUPID moron.

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. If this trajectory of prices goes through the roof, September will become the most expensive month in history in our country. -
This is what a coal fired power plant looks like here. Going to be even more smoke to charge all these electric cars
Just a spewing pollution

so, electric vehicle, you go out west, every time you need to recharge, you drive a hundred? miles to find a recharging station, only to find they are all filled, and there's a long line for each one.
so, you have to find a hotel or camping spot for the night. every time.
You could probably drive to S. Dakota in three weeks. lol
watch for red states to NOT get rechargers, only blue states will get them. lol

Maybe they could put a small wind turbine on the electric car. Then they could create their own electricity as they were driving

I have concepts for clean renewable energy that does not require lithium ion batteries or windmills or solar panels. But do not have the resources to make it happen.
Even if I did, I would probably disappear if you know what I mean.

As someone who worked in the auto industry I can say that electric cars aren't a bad thing IF you have a renewable source of energy. Gas/electric hybrids SHOULD be the way to go UNTIL they can upgrade our electrical grid and come up with a renewable source of energy. Switching over from gas straight to electric is not very smart, until they improve battery technology.
There is some good news though for us people who love traditional internal combustion engines as there are companies out there developing engines that run on hydrogen.
But from what I can gather, there are some drawbacks but I think hydrogen is worth developing further to make it better than developing battery tech.

I used to hear about cars that can run on biodiesel (like fryer oil) and I always wondered why nobody tried that out. I mean if there's one thing America does not seem short on it's fryer grease.
