no. you want to question people.... so i want to question you...i love technology.... I would love to have an EV to drive to my 10 miles to work every day, but thats what it would be for, and i would always have another vehicle, ie truck for when it is needed....

But I'm not dumb enough to think EVs are the best mode of power for all vehicles. A couple areas of technology that need to advance more before it "should" become more main stream:

Battery technology - Lith-ion, LiFePh4, solid state, etc ALL need to be more advanced. we do not have enough power storage efficiency to cover all basis. Carbon Chain batteries could change that, but we are decades away from those.

Power production- Get over it... most all power these EVs get are from fossil fuels. That is a fact. The tech of wind, solar, etc just isnt there. Winds sucks.... Solar could be the answer be we do not know how to efficiently catch solar yet.

IF you EV proponents really wanted to make your argument worthy, you should be pushing Nuclear power. At this time, it is a cleanest, most efficient power production process we have. But yall dont... So that proves, it isnt about the tech to yall... its about control.

You're blaming EV owners for lack of nuclear energy? That falls solely on the idiots we keep electing to run this country. What is crazy about this board is you actually have people in the middle of the bell curve to talk about EVs to and you guys act like this is Democratic Underground. Not a one person here wants to get one due to the environment. Just like owning a 69 Chevelle is not very environmentally friendly neither is an EV. Both are fun to drive and here we are being so miserable to crap on people having fun and not bothering anyone. Before you say it is being forced on you, again, it is the idiots who we elect. Everyone here will actually agree with you on thst as well.

That's nice. I wasn't talking to you.

The idiot I was talking to has been whining about EV, self checkout, AI, etc.

So, yes. Anti-tech.

Now, frick off.
