So since you can’t see it anytime soon, we shouldn’t take steps toward it?

It's not the initial cost of a vehicle as much as the cost of improper maintenance and repairs if ya don't :-)

Anybody know how much Walmart charges to charge up at one of their charging stations? Is it pretty fast to charge up?

That's correct. I believe in spot, on time, best maintenance .

The only electric "plug in" I have is my block heater ! I cannot imagine no power in electric driven rides.

Folks out here need power to haul , carry , and just flat out get to where you are going up and down the Rocky Mountain front passes. Plus the winters play rough with batteries.

Cold really kills them. They wont output as much power, are much slower to charge, can't conserve juice with regenerative braking and if you run the heat can all together lead to about a 40% loss of range.

My biggest problem is the time it takes to charge. You can't just go and fill up. It takes 8-12 hours to charge a tesla. Or if you run out of juice on some rural road you'll have to get towed.

Hogwash. It's one thing to try and develop these things and quite another to throw the baby out with the bathwater. The idea is not viable at this point no matter how much you want it to be.

See, that's just what I mean, that JT detailed.

Won't ever work out here.

SJA a Cah like those you have , would do great on the Big Sky roads ...full bore...but nice things go slow or not at all on gravel side roads -naturally ....and put away in winter. Everyone in the west with the Classics only drive them in summer ! Probably the same rules where you are.
