If EV companies can collectively work on a proper open standards like the digital world, it would come a lot sooner and more people would benefit. It's not just about the price, there needs to be reliable access to charging stations, support, maintenance, easy/affordable access to repair parts, and recycling. But everyone wants to please their own shareholders, so we have things like EV graveyards. So it still remains to be seen how quickly we can phase out ICE cars.
Every EV with their own proprietary systems just adds to the dilemma for people who want to switch.
I feel like these pro-EV/solar comments are coming from out of touch rich fucks or literal kids.
Sure I’d love to adopt solar and reap the benefits of renewable energy! Oh wait, I pay a landlord corporation that would literally rather set money on fire than use it for infrastructure. And they’d just raise the rent to offset any of my savings.
Sure I’d love a 300-mile EV! I’ll buy one as soon as you convince my landlord corporation to install chargers and convince all the other corporate landlords to install them in case I move seeking lower rent!
Do you people just not understand home ownership does not exist as a reasonable life goal anymore?
If the feds don’t swing their dick around, EV is not happening. Credits and rebates don't cut it.
