[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of people who are confidently stating a lot of anti-EV “facts” and “math” that clearly don’t have a f’ing clue.[/quote]

Hybrids are probably the better solution for most people until charging infrastructure improves and EV production becomes less damaging for the environment.[/quote]

Or hybrids are worse than EVs because you have all the maintenance and repair costs of an ICE without the driving fun of an EV. [/quote]

How much are you spending on maintenance and repair?  Serious question because my ICE requires a perhaps $150-300 / year unless new brakes or tires are needed.[/quote]

An EV is zero routine maintenance and much less concern about something mechanical going wrong.

I mean yes, maybe it’s reasonable to get a hybrid if you take a couple long road trips a year bit maybe it’s also reasonable to consider that buying a hybrid is costing you hundreds of dollars in maintenance and fuel costs just to avoid an extra 20 mins at a rest stop on the way. Heck even if you rented for those trips you’d probably save money. [/quote]

EVs need routine maintenance.  Brakes, tires, alignment, etc.  It doesn’t seem that different to me.[/quote]

If you don’t think taking the entire internal combustion engine out of a car has no impact on maintenance and repair costs of the car then I don’t know what to say to you. [/quote]

What an EV does:
- eliminates cheap oil changes
- replaces that with a deteriorating enormous battery, costing $10k-20k to replace within the vehicle lifespan

What an improvement![/quote]
