Some components of Gasoline will evaporate in 1 year too. What is left over won't combust properly, if at all.

No, but its delivery through existing infrastructure far outweighs that of gasoline.

Actually no, it spies on itself. All of its data is reported back to the manufacturer. But this isn't just of electric cars, it's all modern cars. And it's also your smartphone and other smart devices. Even your smart TV starts talking to its manufacturer as soon as you give it an Internet connection. I know it sucks, but this is the modern world now. To not buy an EV just because it talks to its daddy isn't a good enough reason.

Charging them is easier than gassing-up, and alot cheaper too. I plug-in when I go downtown, go shopping, or go to the movies. I plug-in at night. Simple, cheap, clean.
