Imagine being stranded for up to 24 hours on the interstate in an icy traffic jam like Virginia just experienced. But everyone has electric cars. With gas cars, good samaritans can rescue drivers by bringing cans of gas to the needy to refuel and keep warm. But with EVs, if they run out of power, thats it. Theres no portable power coming. So you freeze or run. Plus, EVs might not hold their charge as well in cold weather, so you have even less time.

A Tesla can run only its heater when not moving for nearly three days.

Hope this helps.

Almost like they don't actually care about the issues and just want to bash anything vaguely associated with liberalism, like green energy and electric cars.

Never getting an electric vehicle.
Don't care what laws are passed.

You're shocked, I know.

The right has never been a fan of science and facts.

EVS are improving pretty soon they will surpass gas vehicles in every way. A good Samaritan can carry extra battery cells. Gas isn't going away overnight. I imagine it will be still utilised for a long time.

I have never seen a political party more diametrically opposed to facts than the Democrats.

"Russia totally stole the 2016 election!"

"The terrorists Obama decided to support in Syria are moderate rebels!"

"Ivermectin doesn't work! It's HORSE DEWORMER!"

All proven false. If I tried to create a complete list of all their lies, 500 pages wouldn't even be enough.

Democrats are still solidly on the right, so thanks for proving the point.
