Nuther question...EV's use roads. What about taxes to keep the roads up?
We discussed that before, you started the thread:

Reading an interesting paper about a charging company whose focus is getting charging stations into conventional gas stations.
There are about 115,000 gas stations in the US and they estimate they really only need to get into ~ 25-33% of the stations, and many gas stations are "clustered" near each other.
Replacing a set of gas pumps with charging stations or building them off to teh side in the 25-33% will "solve" the issue of not being able to find a charge on a long distance trip.

Assuming the consumer wants to spend 20-30 minutes to “fill ‘er up.”

Right now, I agree. But I also think that battery technology/charging technology will increase immensly.
My prediction is that in between 5-10 years time, a person will be able to recharge a car battery from 0-80% in 10 minutes or less, and that charge will give you a mile distance equivalent to a tank of gas (600 km or so)
(We will have to "revisit" this forum thread in 5 years to see how close I am. 555)

Hey @LuFins-Dad , imagine the lines at Costco
gascharging stations and your time waiting torefuelrecharge when each car needs 10 minutes torefuelrecharge.

This one is going to be interesting...You can tow as much as 10,000 pounds or haul a half-ton, but wonder what that does to your battery, especially running the A/C, which is most of the time in the Gulf South.

Hydrogen. The current path we are taking towards EV is ultimately a loser, IMO.

@jon-nyc said in $100/1000 miles:
Nah, hydrogen is just another battery of sorts, more expensive to move than current.
Depends on how far you have to move the current. The farther it goes and the smaller the wire, the more it drops.
Hydrogen could be as portable as gasoline, with much the same retail infrastructure.
