A big tank in a fueled personal vehicle makes sense because you don't want to have to stop and fill up every day. However, big battery in an EV doesn't really make sense since it should be plugged in every day when you get home for a few hours.
Except some people actually travel. Who wants to stop and charge every 100 miles?
Then take mass transit or get a car that runs on fuel. Having all this extra battery mass everywhere is just bad all around.
I don't think most people appreciate this fact.
And the impact it will have to our roads that are already poorly maintained.
It seems we can only build infrastructure but can't fix it.
We can barely build and deploy fast charging infrastructure. It just doesn't make sense trying to use BEVs for long distance travel.
