EV's or not

There is a similarity to the way Obamacare was sold and the way electric cars are being sold. With Obamacare it was all about the low monthly premium and no discussion of the annual deductible. With cars is all about the miles per charge and no talk about the time it takes to charge. The average EV will go 250 miles per charge and the average charge time is 12 hours. Most people will not take a vacation with this car. It can make a good second car to drive to work and back and if you have solar panels on your house you can us those to charge the car and this makes sense. Only a small number of people can afford solar panels on their house. While all the hype is about EV's, this is not the future as EV's only work for part of the transportation industry. EV's will be like Blockbuster TV. Charging stations will be set up all around the country and then hydrogen cars will take over and these stations will go to rust. All the new power transmission lines will be taken down and the new thorium nuke plants will be built near where the power is needed. All the damage done to the environment by mining and disposing of the elements needed for EV's will be buried and forgotten much like chemicals were buried in the past and ended up like the Love Canal situation. Hydrogen can run all transportation including air, rail and sea and it is all carbon free.
