The battery is the weak point. Huge load to carry, huge safety issues with the battery, battery is an environmental disaster waiting to happen, there isn't enough material in the world to make all the batteries we would need for an all electric fleet, the batteries don't provide enough electricity in really cold temperatures.

I think he should let people who can afford them buy them for now. This is moving too quickly. We need a republican for president. @hippyjoe1955

@Spoiledbrat I have no problem with how any spends their money. I have a huge problem when the government has to subsidize and mandate the use of an inferior technology. From my perspective if you want a battery electric or a diesel electric or a gasoline electric have at it. The weakest link is the battery component. There simply is no way to make one that works as well as fossil fuels.
