Oh wow, another EV thread with a bunch of oil industry mouthpieces telling us how the studies are wrong and what we didn’t think of. Thank you Mr. Shell, I almost forgot not everyone has a charging point at their house and it takes time to charge an EV.
Dude, it’s the opposite problem. Where do you think the sunlight goes when it hits a solar panel? It sucks it all up! If we set up too many solar panels, they’re going to use up all the sunshine and cool the globe until we have another ice age. Big brother petroleum has been saving us!
It’s fun to imagine an opposite world where everybody has EVs and other more efficient forms of transit, and then industry wants to introduce ICE vehicles to the market.
You fill it with flammable liquid poison and it shoots gaseous poison out the back while it’s running, and nobody can refuel at home, and it’s immensely more mechanically complex, but at least it’s quick to fill with fuel at the fuel store! Just try not to inhale the poisonous explosive fumes or spill the poisonous volatile liquid on yourself while you do it.
I’m sure we’ll eventually get to the point where they invent rapid charging batteries that can fully charge in 5 minutes. But realistically we don’t need it, you just change the way you think about fuelling up.
Most issues require nuance, and the internet does not have the concept of nuance at all. I did my research and bought my EV, no regrets at all. Not only do I know it’s better because I haven’t consumed gas now in over 2 years, it’s also simply the best and easiest car I’ve ever owned. It’s a no brainer to get one. Anyone who says otherwise I think firmly needs to think about their connection with propaganda.

Color me surprised.
Bro, didn’t you know solar panels get hot when in the sun? Global warming!!
Clearly everyone should run a diesel generator in their living room just to be safe.

I’d be so sad though because we’d never get a glorious movie scene like this

The point is already here. BYD is installing 1.5MW chargers in Europe. Those things can charge your car in 5mn - provided it accepts it.

My EV is easily and by far the best and most fun to drive (and cheapest to run) car I’ve ever owned.
Absolutely my favourite vehicle to drive ever, easily more fun to drive than a lovely automatic petrol BMW I borrowed a couple of times.
Fun for sure, even the cheapest EVs can push you back into the seat like a sports car
