minus-squareVaryk@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-29 months agoThat is absurd on its face. ICE cars haven’t significantly improved in close to a century, electric cars are becoming more affordable, efficient, and sustainable every year. ICE cars are much more trouble to maintain and cost more to maintain, and as of this year, produce. ICE cars release more pollutants, while electric cars are annually decreasing and can continue to decrease their pollutants. There’s a huge difference between electric and ICE, don’t let some imagined ideal stop you from supporting a practical leap in the right direction.
