[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]90% it’s status and virtue signaling. And I’m an environmentalist. Most people who own EV fly enough that their commute is noise (esp in new WFH paradigm) [/quote] The zero direct emissions really do make a difference; if every car (and truck) was electric, we'd all be better off. Our house has solar, and that means that even with charging the EV, we have almost no net electric consumption in a given year. We fly about two or three times a year (and pay for offsets when we do), so driving around town and/or for road trips is a significant portion of our household's total carbon emissions. Also, our car doesn't indicate anywhere on it that it's electric, so I don't think there's significant status for us in driving it. I just didn't want to buy another gas car when we needed to get this one.[/quote]
