EV’s are not gonna trend in the US! Never mind the lack of energy to spend the turbines to deliver the demand for such electrical charging. 200 million plus gas cars in the US alone and a electrical grid that’s having a hard time just producing the electrical needs let alone a mass influx of new EV’s.
