The average age of vehicles on the road today is over 12 years with 25% of them over 16 years old. It will be interesting to see how these battery powered units and their maintenance costs will fair compared to today's ICE powered units. And then there's the issue that electrical gremlins today are what seems to be the most difficult problems to have accurately diagnosed. Which will only get worse as vehicles get more, varied, and more complicated electrical systems.

I have no problem with green energy and battery powered vehicles up to a point. It just seems that the Federal government is getting the cart before the horse. The technologies need to mature and the costs come into reality and the infrastructure problems be addressed BEFORE we launch head long into a conversion to battery vehicles.
