Don’t buy their crap, buy mine.

Same Shiite.....less money.

People are stupid who buy these things.

You have to really manage and plan trips to ensure you don’t get stranded somewhere and you can’t refuel/recharge like you can with a gas operated vehicle.

Gas refuels in about 3 minutes and distribution is everywhere.

Electric recharges in 6+ hours and distribution is beyond sparse.

Try getting out of town in an emergency in one of those things. Not gonna happen.

There’s a reason why they are primarily bought by over $150k earners, primarily.

Electric vehicles are generally a 3rd vehicle in their household. they can afford to pretend they are doing their part to save mother earth.

It’s also a status symbol.

"You have to really manage and plan trips to ensure you don’t get stranded somewhere and you can’t refuel/recharge like you can with a gas operated vehicle."

I was talking with a liberal relative over the Holiday about all-electric cars (non hybrids) and he claimed they operate just like a normal car. I said OK when I run out of gas out on the road I can go and get a can of gas start the car and be on my way. Show me how that works with an all-electric car>

He couldn't.

I asked him to plan a trip from Cincy Ohio to Cleavland and back using an all electric Prius. I can do it in 9 hours with a break for lunch in my gas powered car. He can't even get to Columbus one way without stopping for a recharge of around 4 hours or more. It would take him 3 or more full recharges to go one way.

He thought you just pulled into the electric filling station and filled up the electric tank in like 5 minutes and went on your way just like a real car.
