And you thought smoking at a gas station was dangerous!
But seriously, I'm surprised nobody has brought up the environmental disaster that the mining for the lithium for the batteries is causing.
Also, working at a GM dealership, the EVs so far have been a bust. As good as the Volt was at giving people a taste of an electric/gas hybrid, the Bolt that came after is/was a disaster. The cars have caught fire so much they have been recalled to have the batteries replaced, prompting the dealerships servicing them to have to purchase forklift capable of carrying 3,000 pounds to service these small cars. Eventually with the electric Silverado, a bigger forklift will be needed, a 10,000 pound capacity unit. Of course, the dealership will have to pay for it, so get ready for a labor rate increase! With all the additional handling and storage and disposal of the batteries, plus the additional tech training so that the tech doesn't electrocute himself, all I can say is good luck finding someone to work on them. I have 1 tech willing to work on them. Everyone else said no way, I'd rather work sweeping the floor or retire altogether. Even the young apprentices don't want to fool with them.
Here we are in a semi rural area, trucks rule around here, 80% of our sales are either Silverados, Colorados, Tahoes and Suburbans. There are a lot of commercial vehicles in here daily. I don't see EVs taking over that business soon. I will be long retired by then!
