Clear cutting the rainforest to mine nickel and other precious metals to make the ev batteries and other electronics is not as cool as everyone here overlooks. See what nickel mining is doing to indigenous people and rainforests. [/quote]

Funny how the goody two shoes environmentalists never mention this.[/quote]
To be fair, most people don't realize what goes into (and out of) making an EV.

It sounds great from for the environment by reducing Co2 emissions, but look behind the curtain.  Most people don't know enough or care enough to look behind the curtain.[/quote]

I've looked. It's why we have two EVs that we plan on driving for another 15 years. Even then their batteries will be recyclable. Enjoy your gasoline fumes in the pick lane, loser. I enjoy not emitting any and not paying for gas.

We don't even charge at home. Once a week I go to the charging station and park my car for forty minutes. Sometimes I go shopping. Sometimes I just read a book and drink some tea sitting in my climate-controlled car while it charges. Sure, it would be cheaper to charge overnight at home, but I find this more convenient for us.

I have no idea how anyone who's actually driven an electric car can go back to those pokey gas things. One pedal driving in DC traffic? So mellow. And with no engine noise you can hear your tunes or your audible or the transcript of the document you are trying to edit read back. Or, you know, the radio.

I'd say I'll see you at the stoplights, suckers... But the truth is, I don't. I'm zero to thirty while you're still pressing the accelerator to go at all.
