Thanks. I seriously didn't know.

I am 100% serious with this question. What are the benefits of buying a EV? Other than "its good for the environment" which if all of a sudden everyone had EVs would do very little, if nothing at all to fight "climate change". I mentioned this before, but I am going by what I read in Super Freakanomics. Humans only make up 2% of the emissions that are released and in order to have any type of impact on that 2% it would require every country to go completely "green", which isn't happening.

But reasons not to buy a EV
- Have to charge battery for power.

- Because of battery, its not ideal to travel a long distance in an EV (you will have to stop to charge, which takes a lot longer than having to fill up the gas tank).

- Evidently when plugged in vehicle, if it is too cold it can freeze to the car.

- Replacing tires at least once a year, but more than likely at least 2 times a year.

- They are more expensive.

Is this accurate? If so, I just don't get it.
