Why?

It doesn’t matter they’re only cars!

I would like to have a sensible, serious, respectful discussion with a petrol car lover about why they are so negative about EVs.

If you prefer to throw insults or Ill wishes into the discussion instead, I would at least like to understand why?

I have no skin in the game. I don’t care about cars, but I do use them to travel around and to me, an outsider to the cultural side of cars, I am struggling to understand why a big proportion of car lovers are belligerent and make irrational claims to support scenarios that are simply untrue.

EVs are not perfect and they certainly have their disadvantages, but their advantages, from what I can see, outweigh their disadvantages.

Feel free to give some advantages of petrol cars, or make a rational case against EVs, but if you are unable, a polite refusal is far preferable to insults or derision.
