I’ve been thinking about it for a while and so far I understood that: people posting here live in a bubble, people doing their regular jobs at a shop, hospital, local doctor, builders, people who have children, bills, mortgages to pay, for them what counts is next paycheque. They won’t care about ev vs ice saving the planet because saving the planet isn’t solving any of their immediate problems. And those problems are basically being squeezed tax wise and having to earn enough to cover for inflation.
There are just so many people out there for whom sitting at a coffee shop for 20 minutes and waiting for the car to charge isn’t an option.
