Why do staunch republicans hate electric vehicles?

I think this. Imagine the guys with the black smoke belching trucks because they don't believe in climate change and you're on the right track.

It takes a special kind of stupid to:

a.) buy an oversized, expensive, impractical pickup truck which you don't actually need and can probably barely afford, but you want it because you think it makes you manly or something, as if masculinity is something you could just buy 😆

b.) spend additional money to illegally modify said truck to spew black smoke, which

c.) reduces your truck's efficiency and mileage (even as you btch and moan about the price of diesel)

d.) damages your engine

e.) spews oily black soot all over your own nice clean truck

f.) fills your lungs with unhealthy PM2.5 particulates from said soot

JUST BECAUSE you think it's somehow "cool" or "funny" to spew smoke at some random stranger on the road.

Because owning the libs is the most important thing of all.

We don’t use the electric car for long trips but we bought one, for the second time, anyway. Why? They are quiet, efficient, convenient (charging at home is fabulous), and save a ton of money. We use the electric car 90% of the time.

+1 The average American household has 1.8 cars. Tons of families have or could have one vehicle for road trips and one electric vehicle for everything else.

I don’t know if you didn’t read the article or if you assumed no one else would. Her road trip involved a convoy of both gas powered (four of them) and electric vehicles. The advance team knew there wouldn’t be enough chargers at their stop in Augusta, Georgia and blocked a charging spot with a gas powered vehicle and someone waiting to charge called the police.

You tried to imply that maybe there weren’t sufficient chargers and the electric cars were sputtering out on the highway.

If you need to block regular civilians from using a charger to the point where they need to call the police, there aren't enough.

EVs are a disaster for road trips right now.

They didn't "need to" block anything. They chose to because they wanted to guarantee their boss didn't have to wait for a charge.

I've had an EV for 4 years now and I've taken it on trips all up and down the east coast. I can count on one hand the number of times I've had to wait for a charger. They are not a "disaster" for road trips, they're barely a minor inconvenience.

Stop splicing words. This is not a good look, you EV propagandist.

I've been on roadtrips in EV's too. You have to divert from your course to find a charger and they take forever to charge. You're not fooling anyone.

I guess if "divert from your course" you mean "leave the interstate to go to the same Sheetz 0.1 miles from the offramp that everyone else is getting their gas at," sure.

Otherwise, you should probably stop talking about things you have zero clue about. Frankly it's embarrassing that in 2023 anyone would be so confidently ignorant on such basic knowledge. Where did you get your info, some hillbilly boomer facebook page from 2010?

How are you going to incentivize people to hang on to cars longer? People don't like driving old cars. I mean I know that's wasteful, but that's how people are.

Literally just took a road-trip in an EV with a friend and this exact thing happened to try to find a fast charger. Added 1.5 hours to a 4 hour drive.

Other times, he's had to wait like 12 hours for a car to charge. Please, STFU.

NP here-- you could use incentives like lower or no cost for car registration for older cars. Or punish new car ownership by charging higher car registration for new cars. Of course this would be state dependent. I can't think of a federal incentive other than providing federal tax credits to owning an old car or a federal tax penalty for buying a new car. Seems like the tax credit is much easier to work with than the tax penalty.

I'd love to get a tax credit for my older car-- it's 8 years and I'd like to keep it for at least another 8. It's a hybrid.

Meanwhile you guys fight transportation solutions and increased gas mileage like we’re going to build streetcars out of your children’s bones. And heaven forbid it be even suggested that people reduce their trips. You guys are weird.

This is not true. Tesla only recently started opening their infra up to non-Teslas and there is still limited availability and restrictions with fast chargers.

God, you EV zealots are kind of ignorant about the product you want to force down everyone's throats.
