[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]EVs are largely a scam.  Compared to a hybrid, an EV is worse for the environment (from pollution during battery production and reduced vehicle lifespan even with battery replacements) and costs more money (vehicle price, insurance premiums, cost of electricity, rapid depreciation, etc)[/quote]

None of this is actually true.[/quote]

All of it is true.  In some areas of the country, depending on gas prices and home electricity prices, charging is more expensive than gas.  An ICE vehicle will last 2-3x as long as an EV because replacing the battery on an older EV costs more than the vehicle is worth.[/quote]

Charging to full is not even close to more expensive than a full tank of gas. In fact, filling my gas tank is 10x more expensive than the rare time I had to charge to full at a rest stop. The one time we did that we stared that number in utter disbelief that anyone would buy a gas car again. But in reality, we programed the car to charge at home in off peak night hours or when our solar is overproducing.[/quote]

Look at what percentage of new car purchases are EV in the US and then you can suspend your disbelief.  It has never broken 10%.  Most people wouldn’t consider them a replacement for a gas/hybrid vehicle.[/quote]

If only the world was as small as the us. Except… it’s not. Over 80% of new cars sold in Norway are ev’s. China will be at 20% by 2025. The us is in deep s&$t if it does not keep up.

And most people did not think a car would be replacement for a horse and cart in the early 1900’s. Enjoy your horse and buggy grandma. [/quote]

Government subsidies and charging infrastructure vary across the world.  You speak like a child.  Why exactly is the US in trouble?  Because less than 10% of new vehicles sold here are EVs?[/quote]
