Electric vehicles ? ๐Ÿคก

The benefits of driving an EV is the worldโ€™s shortest book. You pay more the vehicle, more for insurance, it takes hours to recharge, your range is half that of an ICE vehicle, they are useless in remote areas without power, there is almost no second hand market due to the replacement battery cost, the batteries only last 10 years, the batteries can spontaneously combust and canโ€™t be extinguished and can cause devastating cascading fires in car parks, you canโ€™t charge them at home if you use on-street parking or live in an apartment without charging infrastructure, the batteries stop working in cold northern climates during winter, charging stations canโ€™t be scaled to accommodate long weekends and holiday periods, towing a boat or caravan halves the battery range, the grid cannot cope with any significant EV penetration without a complete rebuild at enormous cost, the majority of vehicles will be made in China creating a geo-political dependency on a hostile nation, and they weigh more causing road damage and the tires wear out faster.

You canโ€™t run the aircon when stuck in a traffic.

They will be written off after a minor accident as the battery may have been damaged and is dangerous .

They can be remotely disabled.

When you drive them you are exposed to a lot of EMF.

In a serious accident it is very dangerous for rescue services to cut you out .

The current electricity grid cannot cope with the increased loads that would be necessary if they were widely adopted. ๐Ÿคก

EVs are made for and by City dwelling bureaucrats.

Tbf not much difference between KYC Corn and ETFs for a tax paying American.

This is what would happen if I let a small child buy my groceries. Who are these people, living like this?
