I've edited out the troll comment. Let's just call it tiresome. Everyone knows battery capacity is what keeps EVs from being great for long distance driving. It's not news, few would dispute it. Can we just stipulate that and move on? As for "Our government wants us to all switch away from fossil fuels" it's hardly just the government. Every rational person who isn't a hermit understands this is something that has to be done.

Well with the electrical grid in it’s current state, it isn’t going to happen tomorrow.

Actually, the grid isn't as much of an issue as some imagine. Easy to Google if you are interested.

You might and try learning about what is going on in California RIGHT NOW. PG&E can't even keep our AC on when it gets hot on some days. I live next to the biggest Geothermal unit in the world and have family and friends that work there. They said that there will be rolling blackouts this year too because of too much demand.

This has nothing to do with energy density but too little electrons and to much demand. Think millions of electric cars are going to help? :R

I was through with this thread but you keep quoting me and posting stuff that's irrelevant. I'm not surprised that you have a simplistic view of the grid/EV relationship, or that you didn't bother to read up on it as I suggested. Your tired "talking points" only reinforce my point that you started this thread just to have an opportunity to yap yap about EVs in general, nothing to do with RVs. Anyway, fact is most EVs are charged overnight when demand for electricity is low. Chargers already exist that can be set to only charge when other demand is low. Evs already exist that can return power to the grid. This is an evolving, progressing situation and not the nyah, nyah deal breaker you make it out to be. Maybe you'd like to suggest some other path to our transportation future?
