Happy Mother’s Day to all my female readers…..may you have a wonderful and relaxing day.

Just another IST FYI post….I am doing the best I can to keep my reader informed and/or entertained….

These days the big push in automotive ads is toward the electric vehicle(EV)….Polestar, Genesis, Tesla and most major automotive brands are push one model or another…..

I had considered it but after a little research I decided against it…..cost being one, few charging stations, and then the price of the battery replacements…..all together it was not very attractive to me.

Then I read an article on EVs…..

If you are considering buying an EV then maybe you should pay close attention to this article….

It’s hard to ignore the big push for electric vehicles. It’s all around us, the talk of the news, and when the government starts offering tax credits, you know they mean business. Electric cars will be our future, whether we like it or not. 

If you’re considering purchasing an electric vehicle (EV), knowing what you’re getting yourself into is essential. With big promises of greener transportation and lower costs, it’s easy to walk in blind. So here are 12 things EV owners need to talk about that we all should know. 

Your average gas-powered car can drive 300-720 miles on one full gas tank. Your average EV range is significantly lower than this. Combining the low range of an EV with the fact that charging infrastructure is considerably lacking, it’s reasonable to worry. Imagine having half a gas tank, only two gas stations within a several-mile radius, and then crossing your fingers that the gas pumps work. I’d be panicking, too. 

I have two kids, and they panic when I stop to fill up with gas, and that only takes around 8 minutes, max. I can’t imagine having to take 30 minutes to recharge an EV every time I need a charge. Who has 30 minutes to dedicate to that in the middle of their day? Not me, that’s for sure.

In all fairness there is a charging station going in 3 blocks from my house….but it has yet to be finished after 3 months.

Nowadays cost will be a major selling point….with the way things keep rising people will avoid this cash outlay for as long as they can.

Enjoy your Sunday and once again…..Happy Mother’s Day.

As always…..Be Well and Be Safe….
