[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]

There is no part of the country where charging is more than gas.  Seriously name one.

And an ICE vehicle will cost a lot to keep running for 30 years. You can easily save $5-10k in maintenance and repair costs with EV. [/quote]

My ICE vehicle has cost virtually nothing to maintain for the first 15 years.  Mostly cheap oil changes and tires/brakes which EVs need replaced too.

When gas is near $3/gal it is absolutely near parity with home electric prices or below for a fuel efficient vehicle in virtually all of the country except places with high gas prices.[/quote]

And you are polluting and have to keep going to the gas station.[/quote]
