    What’s the maintenance costs for 15 years in an ICE vehicle vs electric?

    Probably significantly less than the cost to maintain roads because now every vehicle would be significantly heavier. Oh and bridges!

      The US could compensate by people driving less of the unnecessarily large vehicles.

      Look large pickups and SUVs have a function, but driving a 2 ton vehicle to and from the office by yourself is not a green choice.

      Make road taxes based on weight.

      In terms of EVs I would love a solution for the range. I drive relatively small commute and if there was a way to leave 2/3 of the batteries in my garage and only install them when I want to visit grandma it would be great and save a lot of weight.
