They do tend to emit disproportionally high smug levels though.
It's just passing the buck to the companies providing the electricity so the consumer can pat themselves on the back and order vanity plates that say "0 MPG" and "OIL HAHA".
- eropple 7y agoThis is not a good take, especially given the steady improvement in both cost-efficiency and the availability of renewable energy. As an example: my girlfriend and I are putting enough solar on the roof to give us the headroom to charge an electric car, when it's time to switch.
