The damning statistic for ICE is the percentage of people who go back from EVs is only 1 in 4 globally, but much higher in he US.

Electric cars are great, but I'll be dead before you catch me in one made by any major corp. I'd rather build my own than buy their crap.

Has the battery disposal situation gotten better? Can EVs be recycled when their lifetime ends? Are the batteries still a massive fire risk or have they solved that? The main concerns really. From my perspective it looks like both options are bad in different ways, could be wrong though.

Just one of the many ways society will improve as easily programmed boomers fade into history

Boomer here, been driving an EV since 2013. Ageism = ignorance.

He is assuming people have brains and use them lol. Look how stupid the "average" human being is. It's those stupid people who gave us Trump, sold our privacy for convenience, and allow billionaires to exist, etc etc. We will never have nice things 🙄

EVERYTHING in the universe runs on electricity, even your body. It can be created without polluting the environment. It also doesn't pollute when used.
EV vehicles also have a lot fewer parts so they are less costly to manufacture and there is less to go wrong.

There are couple of problems with EVs:

  • they lack any aesthetic (at least vast majority), they look like a toy or a modern appliance, plastic and cheap
  • they feel like 'go from A to B', soul-less
  • they have a constant uplink to a cloud with telemetry of my every move and every fart with no option to opt-out
  • no fucking physical buttons (some of them are just now pulling they head out their asses and reverting the design choice)
  • expensive, paying premium price for cheap feel
  • we don't really know how (un)reliable they are (there are a lot of new brands and new models)
  • infrastructure not ready in a lot of countries, and if you're living in an apartment building without a parking garage or charger nearby you're fucked

Other than that, yeah, they might be superior to an ICE cars.

Ps. I wouldn't be caught dead in Tesla. Fuck Mussk

Since when did they start calling them ICE cars and not EVs. In America, ICE fucking sucks, but EVs don't.

Is this a propaganda trick or has it been used abroad a lot?
