Outside of major cities, the electric vehicle is "not ready for prime time" so to speak.

Sorry, it's got nothing to do with Biden. I don't like them but electric vehicles and clean energy are the future. 130 years ago no one thought those new fangled automobiles would ever replace horses. Part of a presidents job is to guide the country into the future and like it or not that's what Biden is trying to do.

Whenever I think of a family trying to do a road trip in today's EVs clown cars come to mind.

On a recent trip to Seal Beach, CA we stopped before crossing the border into CA to fill up with gas. The station had 10 EV charging stations and there was a waiting line for access. I am not sure what that adds to your trip time but when it's a 6.5 to 7.5 hours drive time depending on traffic and road construction it doesn't sound like to much fun to add hours to the trip as one waits for a charging station. But then that's just me.

My wife said that the only way she would have an EV, is if they gave it to her, and paid for the charging station and the power brother SPC Jeff Daley, PhD
