Why Electric Vehicles are a bad idea

There is no such thing as a perfect vehicle for everyone and that is ok. With millions of vehicles sold in the US annually that leaves more than enough room for some pretty healthy niches. But poor choices are out there for the uninformed and this posting will hopefully warn an unsuspecting buyer before its too late.

On paper, electric vehicles seem like a good idea. Great for the environment, uses the most prolific power source built by Man, 2nd only in accessibility to the Sun, and its economical.  But the drawbacks are many and severe and worse of all; unadvertised!!  I will expose the secrets the electric car manufacturers do not want you to know!  But the key thing is that you need to read this ASAP!  The industry is powerful and as soon as they see this, this post will likely disappear from the Earth forever! So don't blow your opportunity to find out what the World doesn't even realize it needs to know!!

Electric Vehicles are quiet and that is true but I cannot believe the industry has the World believing that quiet is a good thing!!  After all, would you prefer to hear nothing?? Be deaf?? I think not!

** Quiet means leaving home at the crack of dawn without waking up the family. Hard for them to appreciate how hard you work for them if they don't even know you left the house!

** Quiet means the inability to strike fear into the heart of your drag racing opponent. What good is all that torque if you cannot psyche your opponent by increasing his stress level and maybe causing him to choke?  For the effects of stress; google "Minnesota field goal attempts."

Electric vehicles require nearly no maintenance and again, that is supposed to be a good thing?? WOW!! Unreal!!

** No maintenance means no more free car wash coupons when you get your oil changed. Right now my LEAF is so dirty I sometimes have trouble remembering what color it is!

** No maintenance means drifting apart from your local dealer's service advisor.  Think of all the time and money you spent in the past to build that relationship and gain that valued friend. But no more! All gone!!

Electric Vehicles recharge with electricity and the most common source is the home tap. Sounds good, right? Well...depends on how you look at it.

** Charging up at home means not having to go out to get fuel.  A "shut in's" delight! We don't even want to go into how bad that is for them to have another excuse to not venture from their home.

** Charging up at home means not supporting the local economy. Gas stations maybe corporate franchisees but still employ locally. By gassing up, you are helping to reduce unemployment.  Electric companies are public utilities and your charging will not hire a single person.   For example; I have both a gasser and an EV. My Nissan LEAF went nearly 14,000 miles for under $300 while the gasser when just over 6500 miles for over $400.  As you can see; the EV contributes little to economy while the gasser can potentially pour hundreds of dollars into the local economy every month!

** In extreme cases, people install Solar panels to generate their own electricity. This means no money at all put into the local economy and a huge reduction in surplus Solar energy! Sure it seems like we have a lot of leftover Sun now but what would happen if there were tens of millions of people charging their EVs with Solar??

Now there are more hidden pitfalls to driving an electric vehicle and I would love to spend the time to tell you about it but time is of the essence!  Remember as soon as the EV auto manufacturers see this, it will most certainly disappear to don't delay!  Share this with as many people as you can before its too late!!
