It’s more frequently inferior to have a shorter-range fuel source when you regularly drive longer distances.
Journalists, particularly at Bloomberg, often approach observations with bias and ignorance that actively interferes with thinking and problem solving.
- epiccoleman 3y agoRight, this reads like classic "what's wrong with Kansas" type analysis. There's lots of potential reasons that EVs might not make sense for people in rural environments. Serviceability, range, towing capability, and maybe most importantly just expense. Up until the last year or three Tesla was close to the only option, and even though the new offerings aren't universally as expensive as a Tesla, you're still looking at new car prices, which are substantial. Looks like the cheapest Bolt is 27k, which works out to something like $4-500 monthly payment. Wouldn't fit into my budget, and we make about twice the median income. Not hard to imagine many, many people making a similar financial call
- wolverine876 3y agoIs there specific evidence of bias and ignorance?
- the_optimist 3y agoTypically this shows up in inferences about supposedly malign or misguided activities that some other group engages in, without asking inquiring, exploring, studying, or analyzing. Evidence-free implied superiority in judgment. Playing to tropes. In this state, contradictory evidence confirms the bias! Might as well park your brain on the bedside table before heading out.
