Not long time ago the ceos of european companies said that evs are just conceit
They are better if you own a house. Otherwise charging becomes a much larger issue. The cost of fast charging at a public charger isn't any cheaper than filling a gas tank and takes a lot longer with fewer options.
I'm also worried about battery lifespan. My gamily has had 2 hybrids, and both became standard ICE cars because the batteries failed and cost more than the cars are worth to replace. I drive about 35,000 miles a year, and need something that will last. I bought a used 2005 F150 that now has almost 600,000 miles on it with the original engine, and if it does have a failire, I can buy a new engine for about $3500, whereas an EV battery costs 15-20 grand.
EVs are fantastic, but fuck VW with a rusty spoon. They are in talks withbIsrael to build weapon components for them.
Does that include hybrids? Been rocking my Toyota Hybrid and I don't have issues with it aside from the dashboard screen being small and feeling outdated. Even then, I only use it to connect my phone to Bluetooth audio. Don't even use Android Auto.
Have a 2011 Lexus ES350 (gas, V6), and a 2013 Nissan Leaf (EV, ~60 miles of range). Both my wife and I prefer driving the Leaf around town because it's just plain fun. We keep the Lexus for long trips, but could honestly get by with a rental if we ever needed to.
They should've thought about before they puffed metric tonnes of NOx into our lungs.
EV's are great! We save so much time and effort not having to cheat on emissions testing this way.
