Cadillacs are too expensive for me. It's easy to build a fast EV.

It's easy to build a fast EV. Electric motors are cheap, light, and reliable. It's easy to build an EV with 2 or 3 motors.

It's harder to build an EV with a long range, because batteries are heavy and expensive.

It's almost impossible to make an EV that recharges as fast as filling a gas tank.

Yes, "range anxiety" is a real problem with EV's. Elon Musk was smart, he started the Supercharger network over 10 years ago. Other EV makers are still too dumb.

Tesla has addressed the infrastructure concerns. Tesla sells home solar panels. People can buy a Tesla and recharge it at home with their solar panels.
