Actually, they are good except the problem of charging. I can charge from 10-80% in 18 minutes at a fast charger. Whereas Tesla has chargers all over the place for other EVs, not so much. It is really frustrating to pull into a charging station when you are on the road only to find half the chargers are out of order and the others are in use. At home it is great charging overnight. My worry is where the electricity is going to come from in the near future.

It’s not just power generation, either.

The step-down transformers in your neighborhood were designed to service 10-15 homes each. They can support a maximum of four EV chargers added to those houses. The dirty secret of EVs is the existing secondary distribution system will not handle many EVs. Imagine having to rebuild the entire secondary distribution system in the country.
