Ah yes, I do remember preferring the electrical horse back then.
I'm not entirely against EVs but they're simply not ready for me yet. I think an actual usuable 300 mile range would be enough for me which we're probably approaching quite soon. The biggest problem though is the cost and complete lack of nice estate car EVs. £10k is usually my budget for a new car and I very rarely pay that.
The price is definitely the bigger issue for EVs, but even then they definitely need to either roughly double range or halve charging time from 20% to 80%. Right now, they don't quite cover enough of users needs, especially at the price. I need a vehicle that covers 90-95% of my use cases, and EVs are sitting closer to 80%.
Three times I read "cats are like horses", and was wracking my brain trying to figure out the analogy...
everyone has known evs are just better for some time now. the real obstacle to switching isn't the charging network or cost. it's oil and gas lobbying and oil and gas subsidies.
stop all oil subsidies today. stop the big oil lobbyists. then let's see how fast the switch happens
EVs are fantastic, but fuck VW with a rusty spoon. They are in talks withbIsrael to build weapon components for them.
