So the environmental impact isn't even worth mentioning?
- nomel 9mo agoThe environmental impact won't prevent their use unless something like a carbon tax is present, where environmental impact directly results in cost. People "need" to travel, in a convenient way, regardless. Same with ICE cars. They'll go away when they're superseded by both cost and convenience. The environment doesn't really matter to the mass population that travels.
- Schiendelman 9mo agoI've had an EV (Tesla model 3) for almost 3 years now. I'm kind of flabbergasted at how good it is. I don't think you could pay me to go back to an ICE. Or you'd have to pay me a lot! I think more and more people are having this experience. It's just not cheap enough yet, and hasn't penetrated the used market far enough yet. But I think it's just a matter of time.
- snowwrestler 9mo agoI believe that fits under “regulation” from the perspective of people building these things.
