Here's a slightly different take: When I first tried electric cars, I absolutely loved them and really wanted one. However a few things to consider:
1. My country's infrastructure when it comes to electric cars is appalling. I'd be fine in the city but outside the city, I'm pretty screwed.
2. Winters: though climate change has softened winters down considerably but still, the fact that a full charge in summer gets you 250km and the same charge gets you less than 50 in winter is something I won't be able to work with.
3. The skewed stats about how eco-friendly electric cars are. I mean my 3 liter diesel is arguably more eco-friendly if I employ similar tactics of presenting the data: I drive it once a week for single digit kilometers.
4. Musk: let's just say that he made sure I hate electric cars and anything he's involved with. I can't stand his ego, lies and hypocrisy. Let's just say that if he goes missing tomorrow, I won't miss him a single bit.
- ZeroGravitas 3y agoDiesel or electric cars that already exist and aren't driven much are more eco friendly than building a new EV that isn't driven. It's not really a solution for all the cars that are driven around the average 8-12 thousand miles a year though.
