It was just a joke about the legions of boomers on FB complaining about these increasingly implausible reasons why an electric car won't work for them when they clearly would, and for those people who do have one of the rare legitimate reasons, they can just continue to use ICE vehicles..
A family member is constantly posting that nonsense, and whining about how he could never buy an EV since he hauls his boat. Nevermind that he hauls his 2,000lb pontoon boat 40 miles round-trip twice per year. The base model Hyundai EV could easily perform 100% of his towing requirements.
He doesn't have a problem to solve, he just likes to complain and virtue signal. No amount of battery range will convince him to buy an EV because it has nothing to do with his complaints.

- adrianN 4y agoI never heard of serious suggestions to ban hydrocarbons from in general. We're not dumping R&D money into synfuels for fun. It's just that synfuels make no economic sense for almost everyone. Why would you want to pay 5x more per mile in a car with 10x more moving parts?
