Open Discussion of all Things Electric Vehicle (aka EV) for Those Pro or Con, BE RESPECTFUL!

[Great-Kazoo]

I will be "Respectful"*

I feel that if you live in an urban environment with a minimal commute, have no need to drive a long distance or haul a heavy load an EV makes a degree of sense.
Is it the end all means of transportation? No, I don't believe so. I don't believe the used EV market will be viable, the cost to renew/replace a battery system will outweigh the worth point of the vehicle. The discussion on raw material procurement, processing and production of batteries not to mention disposal is as yet unsettled.

*EV vs ICE debate- I kinda look at it the same as the gay vs straight thing: If that's what you want to do fine. You do you. But the EV crowd has no place demanding that I view them the same way they do, that I must accept them as the "new normal", if I don't agree with their view then I am evil , an electrophobe and therefore a bigot.
Bite me

how true. The EV crowd reminds me of the incandescent bulbs are bad for the environment. crowd. SO................................ the push was on to go green, doing away with them, in favor of (Remember these?) CFL bulbs. Oh the hand wringin g over incandescent bulbs, how bad they were, blah, blah, blah....


Then once word was out the CFL bulbs used (iirc) mercury. They disappeared, replaced by led's. Ask the ev crowd, what would happen. Once they realize the mining, production and overall material use for EV's was actually worse than petro, for the environment. Soon to be replaced by other than EV vehicles. Bet those folks act like. OH EV, who drove those
