Everyone I know is jealous of EVs but can’t afford one. Regular cars break down all kinds of dumb ways and there’s great deals to be had if you can fix simple shit. EVs the battery just goes eventually and there’s an inevitable ~$5k bill so that’s kinda the price floor. Not much else to go wrong. 30 year old gas car I’m driving was $100 to haul out of someone’s yard and $600 to get back on the road
The main problems in the US in terms of EVs are lack of infrastructure and that car manufacturers keep pushing gigantic inneficient cars.
Petrol is still cheap (here it’s over $10 per gallon), and so long as the US continues to severely undertax it, the US (and global) economy is going to keep paying the price.
Don’t worry, we’l invent privatized public transit again soon
I love EVs and still lease one, but they’re horrible for family’s needing to travel thousands of miles to take holiday/vacation or to see family.
Broke down and literally just sold my Kia EV6 to get a Toyota Highlander Hybrid: zero regrets. There’s still real world use cases for gas cars still.
2/3 of Americans still won’t buy them. They love overpaying for overpriced, oversized gas guzzlers. This has all happened before and will probably happen again. This is the country that elects people who want to tear down windmills and solar panels so they can “drill baby drill”.
After a certain price; people will hurt. I hope we reach that price and Joe “My F350 has truck nuts” eats shit.
evs are somewhat overpriced as well.
I think hybrids are better because there is no reliance on an external electric source.
You forgot your /s tag.
