An idling gas engine may be annoyingly loud, but that’s the price you pay for having WAY less torque available at a standstill.

    On the one hand the Nokia 3310’s battery lasts a week. On the other hand the iPhone 15…

    Just plug your car in when you’re not using it like you’d charge your phone overnight. It’s only a problem if you can’t charge at home (due to on street parking and no charging facilities on that street) and you can’t charge somewhere you usually take your car (eg a workplace).

      Nope,it’s a problem in many other scenarios

      If i ride to vacation to a country with no charging infrastucture, if I want to ride to the mountains where it is subzero and my range drops dramatically, if I go to a place where it’s 38 deree celsius and I need AC my range is pretty much fucked up… (not to mention that close to remote places like cool beaches there is no charging station)

      If I want to have a road trip… i suddenly becomes a planning issue

      There are still so many things that are complicated by having a EV, and I don’t need the extra complications

        So you agree that we should heavily invest in building EV charging infrastructure?

          We should slowly invest and push for transition, but the current status quo is for early adopters and enthusiasts IMO
