Some friends of mine bought an electric car, thinking they could go on a road trip about 80 miles away with us (it was fully charged before they left).

They weren't calculating the weight of other things they brought in the car for the trip and would have ran out of charge in 30 minutes.

Full electric is skipping an important step. It's hybrid. Hybrid makes perfect sense. Boost gas powered cars and increase their milage. It allow us to build up the infrastructure to then convert to full electric.

Now, it's a shit-show where major car companies won't ever be interested in electric again because they are losing too much money.
