Yeah EVs make sense for a very specific and small subset of the population, for specific uses. The problem arises when bureaucratic nutjobs try to force it on people, and ignore the numerous issues with EVs.

• Pretend EVs as just as affordable as normal cars
• Pretend their range is just as good as normal cars
• Pretend charging is just as readily available as normal cars filling up
• Pretend charging is just as fast as filling up
• Pretend manufacturing EVs is not devasting to the environment and doesn't involve exploiting child labor in poor countries (lithium mines)
• Pretend that electricity used to charge EVs is clean and NOT powered by coal
• Pretend that end of life EVs don't present huge issues with disposal or recycling
• Pretend that current power infrastructure can handle mass EV adoption
• Ignore the carbon cost of producing an EV, and how long you have to use it just to break even
• Pretend that EVs work just fine in ultra cold environments
• Pretend that EVs have just as long a lifespan as normal cars, and don't have exorbitant repair costs
• Pretend batteries last a lifetime and don't need to be replaced (at price points where you could just buy a new normal car)

And all of this while also pretending CO2 is some apocalyptic gas that will destroy us. That it doesn't green the earth. Also throw in ignoring that "climate change" is also happening on other planets in our solar system, and seems to have everything to do with the sun and not humans.

I wouldnt mind having the option. Honestly, once they come down in price, I'd likely have one as my second car. Me or my wife would drive it to work where there is a charging station - Its always fully charged in the morning and I plug it in at night. For taking the kids to school, grocery shopping, etc. They are truly convenient as I dont need to stop at a gas station for any of that. For long road trips, no thank you. I'll take my regular car

good for golf courses. kek

so why not allow golf carts.

The other use for an EV is to:

Step 1: Take a drive on California's famous winding grapevine Step 2: You will be forced by the slopes to go around 30mph for stretches, accumulating a massive line of angry Californians behind you Step 3: ??? Step 4: Profit

It may be worse than you think.

Remember when there was a hurricane in Florida and Tesla downloaded a software update to their customers' cars so that they were not range-limited? If they can do that then they could download software that stops you driving anywhere if they wanted to.

Exactly, she's the U.S. Department of Energy Secretary.
