> Most non-japanese cars turn into crap-boxes post 100k miles. Citation needed. >This means that an owner's experience will begin to substantially deteriorate at the 100k+ mile mark. So no different than an ICE, supposedly. However, where the engine might need to be replaced at 100k miles for an ICE, the motor of an electric car is expected to go to at least a million miles before needing replacement. >Electric cars being heavier, lead to (mass squared) faster road wear and road costs. Heavier than what exactly? An average SUV weighs more than an average BEV. >Their quietness, greater acceleration, greater momentum and worse braking distances will only lead to increased accidents. Citation needed. Not everyone floors it all the time just because they can, and with regenerative braking, more people are probably going to be driving slower and coasting to a stop instead of the 'floor it and slam it' of ICE, but we're both just making stuff up at this point. >Their range obsession means that EV hatchbacks are simply infeasible Whose range obsession exactly? many people already own BEV and or hybrids, and they're fine with the range. They're already "feasible". >I do not particularly like the Ford F150 lightning and Model X version of electric car revolution that we're seeing today. Me either, but they're better than those 10/20mpg or less vehicles of the past, it would be nice if people didn't have to haul or tow things, but life is what it is. >2nd order effects will cause more damage than good. again, Citation needed. re: "3rd order effects" https://arpa-e.energy.gov/ https://arpa-e.energy.gov/
