The EV and hybrid electric
The EV and hybrid electric vehicles are in production for two reasons: 1) To help a manufacturer meet CAFE standards and 2) Political pressure. Both of these are poor reasons to produce an electric vehicle of whatever variety. The lack of overwhelming public acceptance can be traced to multiple reasons. Price and infrastructure are two big reasons. It seems where the total EV excels over the gasoline/diesel engines is tailpipe emissions. I can pull into any gas station and fill-up and be on my way in 15 minutes with a travel range of 300-400 miles. No electric can do that. An article in Greentechmedia.com dated July 5, 2017 shows that 17 states impose additional fees on EV's due to the fact they either use no gasoline or less gasoline depending on model. Less gas used equals less gas tax revenue thus additional fees for these vehicles. Let no good deed go unpunished....indeed.
