I'm pretty sure that most of them did. Seems obvious.
My next car will be an EV. Goodbye gas stations.
when an EV has the same range and can fully recharge in the same frame as my gasser then...and only then...will I consider an EV. to each their own.
Until we get a better understand and application of fundamental physics (quantum realm or beyond), this isn't going to happen. Thermodynamics is in the way right now, and so far no loopholes have been found.
Hydrocarbon fuel (gas, diesel, propane, etc) is the safest and most energy dense energy storage we have available at this point.
Rather than wait for physics, we could work on it as a socio-political problem. Instead of our towns sprawling out, they could sprawl up. Instead of one or two people driving their personal vehicle 100s or 1000s of miles between cities, high speed rail should be taking them.
That's the most fun I've had in a while, watching the ground whip by at ~400km/h on a Virgin bullet train in Italy.
