There is no pathway to full EV usage countrywide that I can think of that doesn't include nuclear power. You can't build enough windmills to meet the power demands of every swinging dick having a Tesla to be charged overnight.
Well no shit. Yet the hysterical leftists think it's dangerous because of what happened in a 1960s technology plant in the Soviet Union and no nukes and shit. Idiots

While on a run, I heard a mild hybrid Honda creep up to a stop sign behind me and it got me thinking that the best solution for cars (right now) is actually mild hybrids. They say the average commute is something like 8 miles, and most Americans - particularly in cities - don't drive more than 25-30 miles a day. Mild hybrids use small batteries so there's far less mining and pollution, and have regenerative braking. That type of vehicle with 40 miles of electric-only range could be recharged with far less stress on the electrical grid, would lead to probably 3/4 of vehicles on the road being electric-only on average days, are far cheaper to buy, and still offer long range flexibility with gas as an option.
