For me, the ev hate comes from numerous things:
1. I don't like having shit shoved down my throat by .Gov. (see gavin Newsom's latest proclamation)
2. There is nothing economical about them, and comparing a Tesla to a truck is infantile. How much lumber will that Tesla haul.
3. The infrastructure for charging, and the time it takes for charging is a big issue to me.
4. The fact that someone other than the driver can manipulate the vehicle is a non-starter for me.
5. Many ev drivers will be much less enamored with them when it comes time to replace that battery.
6. We, as a country, have a very tenuous power grid now. Can you imagine if ev's made up just 50% of the vehicles on the road?
I guess my biggest gripe is, why does everything have to be either/or. Why can't we have gasoline, diesel, electric, propane, hydrogen, and whatever else they come up with.
It takes an extremely narrow mind to believe ev's alone will end pollution. Between what it takes to produce the vehicles and batteries, to disposal of used batteries, not to mention the generation of the electricity. If you think windmills and solar will do it, talk to the good folks in Texas about how well that worked out last winter.
What makes ev's so popular with the eco-nazis is that they can't walk to the rear of the vehicle and see the pollution, therefore, it doesn't exist. kind of like meat eaters that won't hunt, because they don't want to see where the meat comes from.
Just my opinion. Yours may vary. Not throwing shade, just stating MY thoughts.
