      I’m all for it, but I’m not jumping on board to ev until the infrastructure is at a point where charging is as quick and easy and ubiquitous as filling up gas. Or at least closer than it is now. Then again I will admit I don’t have an EV so I haven’t been able to personally experience what that is actually like.

      I could however see getting an EV in a two car household where the primary purpose of the EV is for commuting and just getting around locally. Anything beyond that though I would still feel more comfortable with gas or a hybrid.

        That’s what bicycles are for.

      What type of EV? Because people have a habit of conflating the battery powered EV with EVs in general.

        You say as if there are no plastics in ICE-cars.
        I am all for a big reduction in plastics use, so any new thing that has that new plastics smell I dislike.

            Some of us don’t really have the choice to not have a car, there’s virtually no public transportation where I live.

              cool cool, so we can’t solve the problem overnight, doesnt correlate much to how much effort we should put in though

            It was simply because you answered to a comment about EVs specifically and didn’t specify anything else. So your answer does look identical to one that would have been just anti electric car.

            I just wanted to write a dumb comment btw, not arguing for cars of any type, really.

              My answer could look identical to a random letter generator too given enough time IG, but I feel ya some days I think I’m spewing nothing but shit online lmao
