No, EVs are NOT taking over the US, their sales are tanking and people are shying away from the idea of owning and driving a battery driven car in droves. They have at least 21 different problems with them that make them a car to never own if you 1. Driving Range. Other things beside moving EV down the road uses up range, like heater and AC, high hills and mountains, usage of the wipers, any device. 2. Material Intensity. Gathering enough rare materials costs very much and use fossil fuels to run the equipment to move the many tons of material to process 3. Electrical Grid. The grid is years from being ready for millions of EV's no matter what the electricity providers try to tell you other wise. 4. Risk of Fire. EV's are known to spontaneously combust rabidly, and when that happens, windows and doors quit operating, possibly locking the owner inside 5. Poor Compatibility with Solar. Solar doesn't create electricity fast enough to charge an EV and supply what the normal home usage is with all the electrical appliance and devices the use electricity too. 6. Autonomous Driving Technology. All the bugs hasn't been worked out for EV's to be driving themselves yet, too many accidents have happened due to self driving down the road and especially in the urban areas. 7. Charging Time It varies greatly between level 1 and level 2 chargers, and what kind of charger that is hooked to the car, varying percentages of every charge 8. Charging Station Prices. Some EV's, as in the Cybertruck cost near as much as it does to fill a tank on an ICE vehicle. 9. Too High-Tech. When they do break, the parts costs are way more than Ice cars 10. Overall Costs, including insurance, which on average cost $1000 more to insure 11. High gross vehicle weight. More road damage, wears tires out faster 12. Light body damage causes EV write-offs. Even small dents and fender benders can cause enough damage to make the EV too expensive to repair 13. Few mechanics to work on an EV. Only 10% of the professional mechanics are certified to work on EV's so be ready to get in a long, long line and sky high labor costs.. 14. Resale value is very low and are hard to resell and dealers offer next to nothing in trade-in value. 15. EV pickups range. EV pickups lose half of their range when pulling heavy trailers 16. Cold Weather. EV's take a lot longer to charge up in icy conditions and discharge a lot faster when using the heater inside your EV 17. Ice on EV's. Ice will build up on the headlight covers on EVs that have them and freeze them shut 18. EV's are not environmentally friendly, it takes fossil fuels at 60% to make our electricity for this country and to charge millions of possible EV's sold. 19. Floods. If salt water from hurricanes get into the EV, the EV will sooner or later catch fire due to salt water getting into the wiring system and also eroding the battery container and get it into the cells. 20. Possible unknown reasons will shut down at any time. EV's will sometimes shut themselves completely down for seemingly no reason, cause them to be towed to the local dealer for diagnosis and repairing at possibly very high prices 21. Now a new problem for EV's, some of them stop running abruptly because the 12 volt battery in them (that runs everything else and controls the system that drives the big drive motors) goes dead, Why? The control device that tells the main battery that keeps charging going to the 12 volt battery goes bad and it dies, which kills the car until you charge up the 12 volt battery and fix the charger to it in the system. As time goes on, more and more little bugs will pop up that this short time the EV's have been around that EV owners keep their mouths shut about, knowing that it will kill any future sales of them. As for hydrogen, a man named Stanley Meyer invented a car that ran on water way back in 1998, and was killed by big oil and doing such by poisoning him. Look up his name on any good search engine and getYou Tube to read and see his car that he built. We would already be driving around hydrogen powered cars if they hadn't killed him. Here is the link to the You Tube story about Stanley Meyer --- th-cam.com/video/3zeH_jGdJR8/w-d-xo.html
Toyota risks falling behind by prioritizing hybrids and hydrogen over fully embracing battery electric vehicles (BEVs). As the world shifts decisively toward electrification, failing to adapt could harm their sales and brand reputation, much like what happened to BlackBerry when it resisted the smartphone trend
