“It may seem obvious to us, but, electricity doesn’t come from an electric outlet in the wall. Electricity has to be generated somewhere. And in many places, fossil fuel power plants generate the electricity to power the electric car.”

I love my electric car (Hyundai Ioniq5) but I worry where the electricity is going to come from in the future.

The hatred of all things EV on FR is so annoying to me. I have one for the most important reason of all - they are fun and interesting. What is the point of life, if we can’t find things we enjoy? I also have ICE cars, and those are important and sometimes fun for me as well.

I also enjoy not having to worry about oil changes on my EV, or much of the routine maintenance you have to do with an ICE vehicle. Would I rely entirely on EV? Not a chance. However, they definitely have a great role to play as your daily commuter vehicle.

I can see why people dislike them if it is forced upon them though, but people on FR can ‘t even admit that they might be fun or have any useful purpose.

ever wonder why they are pushing EVs so hard before “green energy” or upgrading the conventional fuel grid?

it feels like the cart before the horse

there is no carbon reduction if EVs are using conventional fuel electricity

and the current grid cannot handle all of the EVs necessary to replace all of the gas cars on the road

but these are not problems

they are part of the plan

if they go “green energy” first

electricity will be so expensive

you could not give away an EV

but they want to get rid of the gas car option

before they go all in on “green energy”

EVs will be your only personal transportation option

and it will be too expensive

wah-la

the masses are on the bus

the rich and powerful will be tooling around in their EVs and gas cars(yes there will be exemptions as usual)

and bonus the elite will no longer have parking problems
