I agree that EVs are not for everyone, but why do people feel they have to belittle others because they like the advantages of an EV?
I think the only thing we agree on is that incentives and mandates suck and are not necessary.
I think we feel furious in belittling EVs because they are being forced down our throats. Combine the promises for an all electric military, fighting the internal combustion engine and destroying the affordability of fuel, canceling oil leases, etc., and we are getting sick of having the government FORCE SHIT ON US.
The record is clear: low flow toilets, incandescent light bulbs, unreasonable mileage mandates, shitty washing machines, and most recently the threat to eliminate ceiling fans and gas ranges, all lead to the conclusion that FedGov won’t wait for the marketplace to make changes - they will force it, even without adequate replacements. It’s only a matter of time before EVs get mandated. Well fuck that.
