Imagine mining (pumping really) up crude oil and shipping it across and ocean, then processing it into automotive gas, then shipping (with a diesel truck) to thousands of small locations across the country, where all those gas powered vehicles will have to drive to (burning more gas) just to get gas.
Don't pretend that a lifetime of fuel for an ICE car does less damage to the environment than an EV. It's a misdirection, not an argument.
Yeah because most drivers are using gas every day in their PHEV right? The vast majority of driving is in the electric driving and you don't have to deal with charging stations on the occasional long trip or specialty charging which is a primary blocker to adoption.
But yeah I'm sure everyone will have figured out how to get charging stations for everyone who doesn't own a single family home or some local coop owned changing system at home.
You people have shunned a highly effective opportunity to reduce emissions and get battery vehicles in there hands of more people for your little cult.
You know P stand for "Plug-in" right? You either plug them in to charge, or they charge off the ICE, which is burning gas. Arguing for PHEV, but then stating...
... Is kinda counter productive.
Not sure who "you people" are. I just wanted to point out that most of the complaints about EVs are equally valid for ICEs, but people seem to forget that Ford Raptors aren't sourced by local mom and pop organic farms when they complain about the global supply chain for EVs.
