I see donkey’s ..And a horse consumed less gasoline than cars when cars started to appear. Why aren’t cities full of horses (and horse manure) today? I have yet to see a traffic jam full of horses, despite one could probably get faster to their destination by simple having a horse walk between the cars stuck in traffic.
There had to exist people back then that made the arguments in favor of widespread usage of the horses instead of the new cars.
The point is this has been debated before. Eventually, new technology tends to dominate and make obsolete what once some were so sure the old way of doing things will continue to be the preferred.
Where are the horses?
Did Henry Ford get ridiculous amounts of money from the government to put the horse out of business, or did he figure it out all by himself?And a horse consumed less gasoline than cars when cars started to appear.

Employees and suppliers?If NASA decided to get back into the business of putting manned vehicles back into space, who do you think would win?
Without the government he would had never sold as many cars. There is a reason the USA has one of the world’s highest dependency on cars and the way it has been built since the 20th century is directly related to government intervention. There was a time when typical American towns were walkable from end to end.Did Henry Ford get ridiculous amounts of money from the government to put the horse out of business, or did he figure it out all by himself?
This is the future ! Regardless if some of us like it or not. All this critics remind me of the "professionals" defending regular Photo cameras against the Digital ones 30 years ago. 30 years already....omg i'm getting oldBloomberg News announced the Chinese EV industry has made a major advance in vehicle charging technology. They now have an EV that’s capable of going 400 kms/240 miles on a five minute charge. Five minutes is the average time it takes to fill the tank on a gasoline engined car. That’s a significant advance for EV technology. The potential for sales in the DR and other countries is getting better. The detractors now are tariffs and the elimination of the government subsidy when you purchase an EV.
None............So what is now the best EV to buy in the DR ?
I walked into a dealership in SD some time ago. I couldn't believe how expensive they were. A Chineese EV car brand.None............
Depending on the size/weight of the vehicle, I would need a decent amount of power to achieve that, and a decent charging infrastructure to provide that amount of power in that amount of time.They now have an EV that’s capable of going 400 kms/240 miles on a five minute charge.
Is there currently any decent network of charging stations in the DR? I would assume at least in the capital they must have some but outside?None............
There is one in Bavaro near the new hospital. I have never seen a car charging there and I pass ilt every day. And none have the fast charging ones. So it takes hours. EV's are not for the DR regardless of what you hear.................Is there currently any decent network of charging stations in the DR?

Only if the EV cars are a lot cheaper and more economical to drive.There is one in Bavaro near the new hospital. I have never seen a car charging there and I pass ilt every day.

That’s just Evergo (this Dominican company is now in several other countries too.)
In almost four years, at least 3,043 electric vehicles have entered national [DR] territory, according to figures from the Directorate General of Customs (DGA).
Why would you?So what is now the best EV to buy in the DR ?
