States are now in the proposal stage, so we won’t see this happen for a few more years. The good news is that many states are coordinating so that, for example, you won’t see chargers within 30 feet of each side of the state border, but instead you’ll see them spread 30-50 miles apart.

I don't think the electricity grids are ready for this. Think about the brown outs in TX and CA. What happens if there are power outs due to storms?

Ummm you can't use gas pumps either if the grid goes down. Stations will have backup generators, but once they go you can't pump because they too require electricity.

Look,.EVs require more elbow grease for now. But it will improve. Gas is now $5/gallon and at a the mercy of all sorts of geopolitical crap in an increasingly hostile world.

If only gas stations had access to fuel to run their generators…

There are different types of fuel. What you put in your car isn’t the same as what you put in generators.

AND there are different generators for the different types of fuel, including both gasoline and diesel. Or natural gas, which we use for our generator.

Lots of options for gas stations - if they plan ahead.

The long-term question is if the trucks can still deliver. Probably somewhere in the whole supply chain something will go wrong during a massive power failure.

First, a massive power failure will already take out the supply chain regardless of vehicles. Nonetheless, 18 wheelers should be designed to be self powering with solar roofs.

What are some other good EV's to consider? I'm starting to look at both Polestar and Ioniq. Just curious what EV's you have and would recommend, aside from Tesla.

I would rather watch my entire family be eaten alive by a pack of wild dogs than own a Tesla.

Same, I’d take the Tesla too and save my families’ lives. Although I bought an ID.4 instead.

WE have both the Hyundai Kona and the Kia Niro and love them both equally. We have a charger at home.

Yeah, I mean, given a choice between a Tesla and a lot of things, I'd take the other thing -- including an EV (we also have an ID.4). But "watch my entire family being eaten alive by a pack of wild dogs" would, most days, seem less pleasant than owning a Tesla.

I got my Bolt about a year and a half ago. There was the recall but they determined my battery was fine. I find it super convenient, I just charge a couple times a week.

I love it! It’s really roomy inside and fun to drive. I got the Pro-S. My family, which I didn’t have to throw to the wolves after all, has plenty of room and my older kid prefers driving it to our other car. Yes, the pickup isn’t quite as fast as the Tesla, but I never need to go from 0 to 60 in six seconds anyway. Some reviews complain about the infotainment system being fussy, but now that I know the system well it’s easy enough for me. Also, some of those reviewers who had the car for maybe a day or two missed the dedicated buttons for things like “climate” etc, circumventing the need to scroll through menus.
