Libs obviously don’t understand Physics. They must think that the electricity that powers their Chevy Volt plug-in charger appears there by magic.

ICE powered automobiles have gotten so clean in the last 30 years that a lot of the original justification for EVs is gone. The main justification now is to reduce reliance on foreign oil. But that requires mining, drilling and recovering domestic oil, coal and uranium, something the envirokooks are unable to do. The wind doesn’t blow at night and the sun sure doesn’t shine at night, so, if you want to charge your EVs at night, you need enormous and costly energy storage systems. The envirokooks won’t let you build pumped hydro storage and there are very few locations where underground compressed air storage is practical.

The only solution is to ride your bicycle or walk. Or maybe take the high speed train.

“a smog problem caused by fossil-fuel plants which provide the power for these vehicles”

I thought France obtained half of its electric generation capacity through a standardized nuclear system.

Not that I would drive a golf cart to work.

I figured that out the moment electric cars were being touted as "green".

Electric cars make no sense as a reducing factor for oil consumption unless the electricity is produced by nuclear facilities. Meanwhile, the planet is ready to explode (e.g. Hawthorne, NV) because we are not drilling enough. God has given us resources more abundant than we can imagine, but we are saddled with liberal Democrats (lawyers, bureaucrats, and their media) to inhibit use of same.

When your electric car bursts into flames, you got a great personal toxic waste dump. That’s real good for the environment.

Why not just get a small trailer that has a diesel generator that will charge the battery while on the road?
