Exactly. Or a National breakdown of our very fragile network of power delivery systems. Terrorists who drop major power lines.
We're always about one day from returning to the mid-1800's.

I road-tripped in Toyota's new electric SUV. Its painfully slow charging and short range made the drive take forever.
A 9-hour drive in Toyota's new electric SUV showed me how brutal EV road trips can be with the wrong car.

This is why the push to EV is a bad idea. Let the market determine development, not a group of politicians. Instead, theylldrive up costs through policy and create shortages and inconveniences that will impact us Hoi polloi and never them.@Angry Ibis @UMFarArcher

Good new is - you can get a bicycle with electric motor and battery pack that will do 60mph, and will go up around 150 miles in range.
Electric cars are fine for piddling around town - but crap for covering country. And even worse - or worser when the weather is bad/cold.
You short out lithium - those things burn like phosphorus. You be a Roman Candle without shooting quite as far.
Same thing with teleportation. It's not fully developed yet. You saw in Spaceballs his *** reassembled backwards.

Can Tesla's Model Y Take a 1,000 Mile Road Trip? Absolutely.
Barron's test drove a Tesla Model Y for a few days, taking it more than 1,000 miles while relying on only Tesla's supercharging network to get us where we were going and back again.
Looking at almost all legacy car companies, the make billions and billions on ICE, and lose billions and billions on EV's. What Tesla appears to be doing is to make it so painful for say a GM or Ford that they have to pull back from the EV market. That would be a politically explosive decision, but the right one for their shareholders and employees.

It did come out great. From time to time I still get the bug to get another old car and take on a project, but then I sober up.
