I just can’t comprehend how these cars cannot have their own on-board charging systems? A 5 gal talk for gas and a small inverter type genny to produce its own charging while driving.

I get it, I do, but what is the point of these vehicles if I can't drive cross country with it? 300-500 miles range, whoopdeedoo if I gotta sit and wait a hour or even longer for the vehicle to charge. Sooner or later you'll be stuck in the middle of no where wishing you had a gas or diesel engine that you could have filled up at that last station for 5 minutes and still be on the road. When I can drive cross country in a electric vehicle then and only then will I be sold. Hopefully that time comes sooner rather than later. There's my 2 pennies.

I’m with E.Tx.Bowhunter. What are they going to do in California when everyone gets home and plugs in their electric vehicles? They already have blackouts when people get home and turn on their AC..
Realistically how much is this going to increase you electric bill every month??
How much are new batteries and how do you go about disposing the old worn out ones ?
This. Electric cars are the future, but we have LONG way to go. Lots of major infrastructure changes will have to become mainstream. Power grids, rapid charging, Lithium mining, etc. This stuff takes time and money.
