Unfortunately here in Michigan, my EV is only a local commuter. I would not even take it for a 200 drive yesterday. Not sure that I would be able to plug in when convenient, and when I needed to be back home.
There are not fast chargers everywhere. This is one charger near the outlet mall which was one of the destinations. Additionally, they are not as efficient at 75 mph in 20 degrees Fahrenheit. Plus, I now that my electricity is not clean. I see the freighters unloading coal. I see the generator from my house.
So there is much that needs to change between now and 2035.
I can see where the mindset in Michigan would be slow to embrace EV's.
Trying to tell Detroit the the ICE is dead is an obvious tough sell.
However the big three or is there now just 2.:@ are aware change is coming even if selling the idea locally is tough.
GM has announced there commitment to EV's in an effort to begim changing the mindset of its customers. GM is aware the mindset will not change overnight.
What is also confounding to me is that Tesla is a USA company but we don't seem to embrace or take pride in the fact that Tesla is American Engineering at its finest.
Tesla technology rivals the achievements of NASA yet we are slow to embrace it as a country.
I guess most of the country is content and not looking to replace the ICE. The country as a whole is certainly not fully behind the climate change initiatives.
I can say my entire perspective on climate change and renewable energy changed after driving a Tesla. I'm not in the "New Green Deal Camp" but I can clearly see the ICE is going away in a hurry and that an energy revolution is already underway.
