Bans are no good. And EVs have horrendous user experience when it comes to charging; the wait, the clogged up grid, the broken chargers and no one to service them promptly.
And you can forget about fixing your car by yourself, they will be like Apple products; that goes for modern ICE cars too ofc. I thought right to repair was a thing on HN, but I see another wind blowing when talking about cars. Sad.
It will probably be better in the future, but producing an EV pollutes close to twice as much CO2 compared to an ICE. And then you would think you are going to drive around in it with green energy at least, unlikely. So we are going to replace all personal vehicles with EVs and a ban on new ICE? We could drive an ICE for many years before it has the total CO2 emission as an EV.
It will take a long time before EVs are more than a niche for the city.
In the meantime I hope synthetic fuel can get a foothold in politics and production, so we can slow down or reverse much of this EV nonsense and solve problems.
