Let's make it simple: it took us years to eliminate the resistance bulbs in the house to reduce consumption and therefore the environmental impact, and now we want the electric car that consumes tens of thousands of light bulbs all on, 24/7.
Obviously someone will say: 'yes, but it is clean energy produced with alternative sources'.
But let's not talk bu****it, the energy on the planet is still all produced mainly with oil, gas, coal and nuclear power.
Among the alternatives, the only serious one is good old hydroelectric where, strangely, there are no large investments.
The wind is discontinuous, and people or companies cannot be kept in the dark because there is no wind, so the thermoelectric or nuclear power plants are sized for maximum needs. And the thermoelectric or nuclear power plants, for the uninitiated, are not like the engine of our car, where you can give more or less gas, depending on whether there is wind or not: the power plants work in a steady state, therefore they always produce energy to cover the needs of users, regardless of the wind or solar contribution, which is simply thrown into the grid. Not to mention the losses associated with the long-distance transport of electricity, etc.
