My husband remembers two high school girls on the streetcar in NOLA who said they weren't going to eat their lunches because children were starving in Africa.
They got older, not wiser.

Really irrefutable arguments the OP is making in this thread.

Wait until they hear some people are homeless and have no vehicles.

It’s amazing that people don’t realize that once this happens, you’re going to have to pay to charge just like gas

Yea 5-10 minutes is absurd. It takes me about 60 seconds to fill up.
You're only counting the actual time it takes from when you press the nozzle until it's full, which is a pretty silly way to do it.
quote:Whatever I want with the hours saved per year compared to those who have to get gas weekly.
So like I said, what will you do with those whopping number of minutes you save per year?

Imagine having a world view that categorizes every person's transaction into a box of politics.
Was it really that long ago that people could critically judge something on its merits instead of what the talking heads say?

How do you know this?
Because he told me so, one time when he was borrowing money. I told him I would help him set up a savings plan, and help him invest it. He cut me off, said "I am not good at that shite", and continued to piss every cent awauy.
Now, Why are you being such a combative frickhole aboot this?

I've never once taken 40 minutes to charge, so I cannot come up with any reason why he'd take that long to charge.

totaled cars already contribute plenty of batteries,
and counter the narrative they are not ECONOMICLY recyclable.
the shreaded batteries are sent "out of the us" for recycling
just like all electronics have been. And for the record, 3 of 4 of my dewalt li ion batteries have died, in well under 6 months...15 years for a car battery...sure
and interstate can not repair, or recycle them

Many of the totaled ones have breeched BESS units. Also, not a significant enough volume to make anything economical.

Not yet, but once again, there is no need for it at any significant scale for decades.

Most people buying EVs just don't want to go to the gas pump.

Most EV buyers get them to be able zip around slow laggy ICE vehicles.

But yea, never having to go to a gas station and/or deal with the types of folks you have to deal with at a gas station is great, the 2nd part of that being an underrated item on the "pro" list for EVs.

Most people I know with EVs certainly don't say shite about saving the earth. Here's what I do know.
We have a shite ton of Indians here. They love EVs because they were able to manipulate the system and get tax breaks. Back when the Nissan Leaf was new, they were getting them for free when they turned in clunkers. Remember that gem? They upgraded to Teslas, I bet there were 30 of them in carpool today.
Right or wrong, they love not buying gas. They perhaps haven't always had to pay for charging their vehicle, or they perceive a savings.
They think the cars are really cool and high tech. Can you get so and so from my car? Here, I'll have it pull forward 2 feet so you can see it. From my desk.
They are fast. Some people just like trying new things. If these were hybrids or hydrogen fueled cars, they'd still buy them.
Now, to contrast that... the car that I know most people own that speak out on climate type shiat... is the Prius... that requires gas.
