I see arguments in the comments about 'I had a disappointing experience a few years ago' where the entire point is that China has been betting on the future and putting the work in to get there. They had disappointing experiences too, but they learned and improved. We just give up. The whole point of this article and the rise of china in general is that the west keeps looking at just the now and 5 years ago and saying 'meh' while china looks at 5+ years from now and figures out how to build for that. Charging speed is slow? Start investing now in megawatt infrastructure at all levels expecting it to be the norm. Range worries? Invest in better batteries. Etc etc. Get people using the tech and the rough spots will work out more quickly. Instead we have governments retreating from subsidies in EVs while fossil fuels continue to get massive ones that keep growing in cost each year. (war is a subsidy. pollution is a subsidy. cheap/free drilling leases are a subsidy. etc etc) Fossil fuels are dead. EVs are the now. The only reason we still see fossil fuel vehicles on the roads and still in production is because we have no vision and the wrong incentives.

- jmward01 7mo agoIs this a real account? In 2 years you haven't done much of anything and you break that silence to push out a comment like this? Is this account a bot? Hmmm... I'll probably burn karma for this but this just lines up too well. If you aren't a bot prove you are a bot by responding with a limerick. No matter what, the karma burn is worth it I think.
- MiiMe19 7mo agoI literally made a post last week. Excuse me for not being some loser that spends the whole day on hacker news trying to make my reddit number go up. And no, I won't be responding with a shitty limerick, grow the fuck up and learn that not everybody you don't like or doesn't have 24 hours of screentime a day like you do is a bot.
