No, there are indeed quick charging capabilities that do not burn out the batteries. There is an electric truck and suv maker in Ontario , Ca. which makes some awesome electric vehicles and the talk about a 30 minute commercial recharger which does not damage the batteries. And when it costs about $2 for a 100 mile charge; how can you seriously say that gas powered cars are our most efficient option? Does that include paying $5 a gallon when the speculators decide to jack up the crude price? There are also other great options in hydrogen tech but we need to get beyond the spin of people like you who are so addicted to gasoline.
I’m not addicted to oil. And I said I’m a proponent of electric vehicles. But they are not ready for prime-time.
It’s simple physics. There is more energy per gallon of gasoline costwise than any other option for vehicles. Electricity for vehicles is not free. It needs to be generated by burning fuel. Combine that with inefficiencies of getting the electricity into a vehicle’s batteries and the cost is far greater than the equivalent cost of gasoline.
Reasons for the high cost of gasoline are due to taxation and political restrictions against extraction here in the U.S.A. If you did proper research instead of mouthing liberal lies, you would find that the government makes far greater profits due to taxes on gas than the oil producers make in taxes.
Hydrogen tech also has inefficiencies at this time, which I won’t get into (I have personally experimented with electrical generation from hydrogen, it is expensive).
Oh, one other thing. You may not realize it, but you are addicted to oil. Did you ever wonder where plastics come from? Many consumables like textiles, electronics, shoes, product packaging, asphalt, fertilizers, medical supplies, rocket-fuels, lubricants etc. are made from oil. Without the oil, no technology as we know it will continue.
You need to stop freebasing the kool aide.
