I can easily believe that an EV causes less emissions to be released for the same travel, compared to an ICE. The big generators, no matter what the are fueled by, are way more efficient and release fewer pollutants than a car-sized ICE for the same power output (IMO of course). Fuel cost wise, an EV is cheaper to run now. How it will be later in time is hard to guess with electric rates bound to go up. Once there are a lot of EVs around, those free charging stations will turn into pay-to-charge, and will probably have a pretty big convenience fee that will overshadow the actual electricity cost.

The fascist are at it again.....let me guess, the politicians will still be driving their gas guzzling SUVs.

What about the commercial airline jets and prop-driven aircraft?
What about the tractor-trailers hauling freight?
What about farm implements (tractors, cultivators, combines, hay balers, etc.) ?
Construction equipment? Cement mixer trucks?
Hey, if we're going total electric, California, let's go all the way!
Bucket trucks, boom trucks, air compressors, concrete saws, concrete pumpers...c'mon, California!
What about the trains hauling freight? Most are Diesel-electric...they don't need charging, they carry their own generator! :lol:

Zero emissions IS a lie.

Less emissions is still less though. Personally, I don't care about emissions, I just care about cost. It costs me about 1/4 as much in "fuel" to run electric than gasoline. That said, I don't own an EV because it doesn't make sense for me to buy one yet. My company provides a car, gas, insurance, and maintenance, so I have no incentive to buy another car.

You're not going to convince a person who bought an EV that because it emits some CO2, they are dumb. You're also not going to convince someone who doesn't care about CO2 to get or not get an EV based on any CO2 argument.

I dislike smug, holier than thou people as much as anyone, but if someone likes a thing, I'll just let them enjoy it.
The people pushing the ESG scoring (Environmental, Social, and Governance) will force people into things they do not like. In the near future, people will be denied car loans do to a low ESG score regardless of their credit rating. Business are being rated first, then the everyday person will be subjected to this.

My question is this: HOW is it "vigilantism" to defend your own property?

More and more, it seems we are all on our own to deal with criminals. The hypocritical liberals are winning at creating chaos and anarchy.

I am certain if Pelosi had her car stolen, or her bicycle stolen, .. the Police of SF would put their top Harry Callahan on it in a minute ..
