Anyone can argue ICE vs EV all night long but there's only 1 metric I care about, in favor of EV:
When I am going to take my son to school, he doesn't have to smell the gas and the fumes from the exhaust in the garage.
- rubidium 9mo agoI did daily (old station wagon in the rear facing seat), as well as school buses. Kindof liked the smell in moderation as a kid. Still in favor of EVs, just a curiosity that this is so negative for you.
- margalabargala 9mo agoI suspect OP is considering health effects, not enjoyment. Plenty of people like cigarettes and opium too, that doesn't mean you want your kid exposed to the smoke.
- digiown 9mo agoMost of the exhaust fumes your son smells near school is going to come from other people's cars though.
- Rygian 9mo agoVery true, to the point that I am considering asking the city council to forbid ICE in a 1-km radius around places where children regularly use the sidewalks. Even if the idea doesn't outright gain traction, enough insistence will shift the overton window.
- driverdan 9mo agoHow long are you running the car in your garage? A minute of idling isn't going to cause any problems.
- unglaublich 9mo agoI have another one: _I_ don't have to smell your gas and fumes when I bike behind you!
