True, but there are multiple ways to generate electricity.
How many ways are there to create gasoline?
Compare the number of moving parts in a ICE vs an EV, include the transmission
Compare the maintenance schedule, and expected motor life
What is on the road, battery technology wise, is not the same thing that is going to be on the road in 2-3 years. Everything is changing, as it was intended. What was once dirty - is becoming clean. Compare Coal fired power plants of the 1950's to the Coal plants in use today.
Are they the perfect solution to everyone, today? Nope
But, for us old geezers who remember when microwaves were thousands of dollars, and quickly heated hotdogs and cupcakes in the store demo - what tomorrow holds will be amazing.
This fool probably doesn't realize that 80% or so of the electric generation comes from coal and natural gas. These people really are dopes.

The problem is with the PUSH and using other people's money for 'incentives'. Fake gas prices etc.
Like tech development if worth while, shouldn't involve profits in the billion. Think vax.
EV same shit, I personally. Love the idea of hybrids. Can't wait for the woodchips/water/gas/electric hybrid space car later tbh.
Could not agree more
Steve Jobs didn’t need the Feds to create Apple; nor did Henry Ford need a grant.
A good idea will draw investors and large corporations. Let capitalism work
