Very uneducated and dated opinion.

Even this is outdated!

Detroit was getting better in like 2015 and was very nice to live in 2017.

Today, 7 years later. It’s objectively nice. Lots of old and forgotten buildings now hold nice restaurants, hotels, bars, stores, you name it.

Its amazing what they’ve done and it only gets better each year.

I think you just agreed with me, but it’s honestly hard to tell. EV makes sense for everyday usage for a lot of Americans. It does not make sense for every American. Especially those that regularly tow, routinely driving 200+ miles a day or may not have access to a low cost charger.

For those folks especially towers, hydrogen is likely the only viable green option. Batteries are just too heavy for long haul commercial trips and eat up payload that could otherwise be used to ship goods. Power density for demanding applications is paramount.

On any kind of road trip… The only time I’m driving beyond the range of my battery. Taking a longer stop is not uncommon. Walk the dogs. Grab a bite. Done charging back on the road. I drove from Detroit to Madison with no issues. The reality is that most of the miles folks drive every day is within 50 miles of their home. Grocery store, work, school, day care, games a do for that and EV makes a lot of sense.

If you are big into camping and towing trailers every weekend which some folks do. An EV makes no sense. The power density for the weight doesn’t make sense. It’s why EV for commercial trucks doesn’t make a lot of sense either. Hydrogen will make more sense for those that need higher power density but want to be green.

Eh, but how do we rank if you are flush with disposable income?
