That looks appealing, but if commercial chargers today cost 30-60 cents per kWhour, how much would that cost?

I've noted before, even at 30 cents per kWhr, and 30 kWhrs per 100 miles, you're looking at $9 per hundred miles.  Compare with say a Toyota Prius, admittedly a smaller car, but they get 50 mpg or more, ro 2 gallons of gas (not even the plug in version).  I keep coming back to this because I keep wondering if this is correct.  If so, it's probably THE major barrier to EV adoption.

I don't know of any production EV today that could charge that way.  My guess is this a mile or so of road to test the concept.

It's got nothing to do with politics in my mind. It's about what is practical versus what is not.

For many (most?) people, it's not practical.

Not gonna buy an EV.

I am referring to folks who voice opinions on social media etc.  Those opinions from what I can discern are largely based on political views, not some valid assessment.

An apolitical assessment would note pros and cons, not just one side or the other.  One can easily list ONLY pros or cons and claim they are either great, or a fad/gimmick/golf cart being forced on us by guvmint.

Obviously, MOST car buyers of late (including me) are not buying an EV, a relative few are.

I wouldn't know about that. This site is as close to social media as I get.

I agree, not so much here, but in general.  And I think a lot of it reflects political bias, not analysis.

I suspect there are political or at least socio-economical splits for many new technologies that come along.  I have no doubt there were vigorous debates about the horseless  carriage when it began to share the roads with horses pulling buggies and wagons.  Right up until the point that it replaced it.

Of course early versions relied on steam-engines.  They were dangerous and inefficient.  Then along came the ICE, and the debate was over.

This could be like that.  Or, maybe not.
