When that fucking moron sat there like the dumb N-word she actually is, I just wondered why she couldn't even think to answer, "Adult female."  Instead, "I'm not a biologist."  WTF?! Welcome to the Supreme Court!

Cons of EVs: They Have Limited Driving Ranges Many shoppers aren't considering EVs because they perceive them to have less range than a gasoline-powered vehicle. While some EVs have very short ranges on a single charge, others meet or exceed the distance you can drive a gas car on a single tank. When considering EVs with various ranges, it's important to know how many miles you drive daily. Most drivers in America can drive for several days without needing to charge a typical electric vehicle. Cons of EVs: Battery Range Diminishes With Age     Getty Images   Whether one year or a decade old, you can expect a gas-powered vehicle to go about the same number of miles on a single gas tank. The same isn't true of EVs, where battery degradation can reduce their ranges as they age. How much an EV battery's range is reduced over time depends on several factors, including its original quality, how you drive, how you charge and the environmental conditions where you travel.   Cons of EVs: Lack of Reliable Fast-Chargers Not everyone will take their EV on long trips, but drivers want to know they can. That's a problem for EV drivers today, especially if they don't have access to Tesla's robust and reliable supercharger network. Tesla's Superchargers aside, America's public DC fast-charging network isn't as prevalent or reliable as it needs to be to provide drivers with confidence, though it is improving. If you get to a gas station and it's closed, you can generally go down the street and find another one. That's not the case with the DC fast-charging stations that charge an EV in 30 to 40 minutes. An out-of-order charging station can leave you stranded if the next station is farther than your car's remaining range.     VW Pics|Getty Images   The government and charging networks are currently investing billions of dollars to alleviate this issue. Also, as of early 2024, several major automakers have announced deals with Tesla that will allow drivers of other EV models to access Tesla's Supercharger network.     Cons of EVs: Long Recharging Time You can fill up your gas tank in as little as five to 10 minutes. It takes far longer to charge an EV, even if you're using a public DC fast-charging station. The quickest-charging EVs available today can charge from 10% to 80% in as little as 18 minutes. Most take longer than that, and it can stretch into hours if the charging station is crowded and you have to wait for a spot to open. Charging an EV using a home Level 2 charging station can take several hours. However, you probably won't notice how long it takes because most home EV charging happens overnight. You simply plug your car in when you get home, and the next morning it's fully charged. Cons of EVs: They Cost More to Buy One massive barrier to the widespread adoption of electric cars is their price. While the price gap between gas-powered vehicles and TVs is narrowing, electric cars are still more expensive than equivalent gas vehicles, though, as mentioned above, the gap is narrowing. The 2024 Hyundai Kona is a good example. The gas-powered Kona has an affordable starting price of just $24,250. The battery-electric 2024 Hyundai Kona EV is priced from $32,675. Depending on the EV you choose, however, a substantial part of the price difference can be offset by federal and state purchase incentives. The most cost-effective way to charge your EV is by doing it at home. While you can use the Level 1, 120-volt charging cable that comes with many EVs, installing a Level 2, 240-volt home charging station is far more practical. Home charging stations start at just a few hundred dollars and can go to about $1,000, depending on their capabilities. The wiring of your charging station can cost you big money, though. If your house can't handle the extra load without major upgrades, or the location where you need to charge is a long way from your electric panel, the cost of an electrician can escalate quickly. In many cases, you can offset many home charging station installation costs with federal, state, local and utility buying incentives.       Cons of EVs: They Can Be Terrible in Cold Weather     Rivian   Batteries don't like cold weather. You can expect an EV to see significantly limited range, compared to EPA estimates, when you drive it in ice-cold winter conditions. It's not a permanent condition – the car's higher range will return once the weather warms up. The amount of range reduction varies by vehicle, with some models showing dramatically less range than others when the weather is at its worst. The worst part about cold weather range reductions is their unpredictability. You can count on a gas car being somewhat close to its usual range in extremely hot and cold weather, and you can find a nearby gas station if it doesn't. You can't expect the same from EVs and America's sparse fast-charging networks. Cons of EVs: Battery Production Has a Terrible Environmental Impact While electric vehicles hold great environmental promise, their batteries aren't so environmentally friendly. Many materials used in today's EV batteries come from countries with terrible ecological and human rights records. That's starting to change due to America's Inflation Reduction Act. Eventually, mining the minerals used in EV batteries and refining those materials will move to countries with more environmental protections. Cons of EVs: Few Options for Battery Recycling and Disposal In theory, EV batteries are recyclable, though a robust industry in the U.S. to do so has not yet emerged. Developing the infrastructure to recycle old EV batteries will be critical to future electric car production. In theory, the minerals used in the old batteries can be integrated into new EVs, reducing the need to mine and refine new materials. Another way old EV batteries can be used is in non-vehicle applications. Even a somewhat depleted-range EV battery can be repurposed to store the energy from a home's solar panels until it's needed after dark.     Cons of EVs: They Lose Substantial Range When Towing       Tesla, Inc.   With the massive amounts of torque electric motors provide, EVs can be great at towing. Just don't plan on getting your EV's maximum range when you do. Like gas-powered vehicles lose fuel economy, the range of EVs drops dramatically when you're towing. The best solution for hauling heavy loads is still a diesel-powered vehicle, though EVs might catch up eventually. Cons of EVs: It's Hard to Have One If You Rent To have the easiest and least expensive EV ownership experience, you need to have a home or workplace charging solution and use it instead of pricy public DC fast chargers. If you live in an apartment, condominium or a house with no exclusive off-street parking space where you can install a Level 2 home charging station, affordably owning an EV becomes much more challenging. As we discuss in our guide to owning an EV without dedicated parking, it can still be done, but it requires more patience and planning. Cons of EVs: Registration Fees Can Be Higher Some states charge higher registration and title fees to owners of electric vehicles. The thinking is that since EVs don't burn gas, charging the higher fees offsets the gas tax revenue that the government is missing out on. There are even states that offer incentives to buy an EV, then take some of the money back with higher fees.         Cons of EVs: Some Dealers Are Terrible at Selling Them While some dealerships and vehicle brands have embraced EVs and have provided employees with the tools and knowledge to sell them, many shoppers will tell you the level of expertise among retailers is inconsistent at best. Automakers are working hard to bring their dealerships up to speed, encouraging them to invest the money and effort to support electric vehicles. Not all are choosing to do so. If you're in the market for an EV, your best bet is to look at owner's forums dedicated to the vehicle you want. Most have areas where they discuss the best and worst dealerships to work with. Con That's Not Actually a Con: EVs are Terrible During Natural Disasters Every time there's a natural disaster, especially one where the electric supply is disrupted, critics come out of the woodwork to talk about how EV owners will be stranded because they can't charge their cars. The truth is a bit different. Because most EV drivers charge their vehicles each night, an EV is far more likely to have a full or nearly full charge when a disaster strikes than a gas car is to have a topped-off tank of gas. It's true; you can't charge your EV when there's no electricity. But you also can't fuel a gas-powered car, as gas pumps are powered by — wait for it — electricity.

For children.  And real thanks to your team.  Disgusting.

These are really dumb deflections.  I mean, absurd.  "white men do it too."  "It's been going on here forever." That's idiotic enablement and apologizing of an immigrant population that doesn't need to be here causing more problems. Be better.  You should go to Africa.  They are still eating each other down there.  

Except they found them in the dumpster. Good investigative work.    BTW, Jeffery Dahmer, Ted Bundy, the BTK killer, and the Son of Sam all had histories of killing cats and dogs. Maybe they were of Haitian decent too.
