Everybody knows it won't fully replace it.
It's impossible to go on a long off-road travel with the EV equivalent of 50L of gas in a jerrycan.
But some are twisting the narrative to say that because of that reason EV will fail.
Millions of people could use an EV in their daily life, just like I can go without a pickup in my daily life and rent one whenever I need one.
- nslsm 7mo agoI’m not affluent enough to buy one car for my daily life and rent another for whenever I have to leave the city.
- timbit42 7mo agoLook at a hybrid.
- neogodless 7mo agoShow the math.. only about 12% of buyers buy new cars. Economical, efficient EVs can be had for $20k. Renting a big truck occasionally can be as little as $20, but even at $5000 for a truck rental... most people are buying trucks that cost $10, $20, $30K more than an enconomy car.
- whynotmaybe 7mo agoHow often do you leave the city for more than 200km? Each time I travel oversea, I take a "public transportation plane", not my private jet. It's not because an EV doesn't fit for 100% of your requirements, that it doesn't fit for everyone. No car fits for 100%.
- 8note 7mo agoYou could alternatively just rent a car or truck when you need one, and not one a car at all? if you arent affluent, all the costs that come with car ownership are a bit excessive. even still you might want to go for the cheap EV, and just not do things that require a pickup, rather than paying the costs of the pickup all the time
