interesting article which reflects more on the realities of electric car ownership and the practicalities of switching and maintenance rather than just the theory and promises and hopes.
the automobile, as a technology, is about 150 years old. cars, about 120, and the “modern” car about 40 years old. Comparatively, electrics and hybrids are a pretty new technology and still have lots of kinks to work out, not the least of which is a support and service infrastructure that is both widespread and affordable. How environmentally-friendly it is also is largely a matter of the end-product, not at all how it was manufactured, especially when it comes to Li-ion batteries.
