Battery operated cars are inefficient, expensive, lack range, cannot be easily charged away from home and use more fossil fuel than gasoline cars.
And what is the life expectancy of the battery? 5 years?
And how much does the battery cost? $20K.
Liberal feel good crap.

I had a liberal arts major try to argue with me, an electronics engineer who is schooled in electrochemistry and quantum mechanics, that the battery-operated car is far superior to the internal combustion engine in every way. In typical commie-lib fashion, after I demolished his greenie feel-good arguments, he switched to a line of "well, what about?" questions. Deflection is the last retreat of a commie-lib on the losing end of the argument, where they spend most of their time.

Electrochemical reactions are not the most efficient way in the world to store energy. But greenies are in love with batteries, because they don't see the nuclear or, worse for them, coal-fired electrical generating plants that power their idiot "charging station" at the mall.
