You pollute more than your old car because of the initial manufacturing materials and process.
You spent way to much for the privilege of vurtue signaling.
You will experience exponential degradation of the lithium ion batteries.
You now have to worry about your car becoming a Molotov cocktail.
You are going to pollute with the unrecyclable car when you are through with it.
All of that and a few other mendacious deceptions would make me very torqued. I am jacked up to know they are being sold, just like wind farms and solar panels.
It won't work for everybody. All the parameters have to be right for your situation (i.e. climate, plan to be there at least 10 years, your regular power consumption habits, your regular driving habits, if solar on your roof then you need a metal roof so that your solar panels aren't in the way when you replace your shingles in 10 years, etc.). But we just happen to be in that kind of situation. End result, our house is now all electric, most of our driving is in the EV car (which means charging at home unless we take it on a long trip) and, 80% of our power is free from solar.
Thus, when the Dims keep making energy costs go up while also making energy less dependable, it impacts us only 20% as much. That's not virtue signaling. That's protecting my family from some of the government bureaucracy by making us more self-reliant (at least energy-wise). I don't know one lib that takes on more personal responsibility and wean himself from some of the government control over his life.
In that same manner, we're growing more of our own food. I doubt we'll be as self-reliant with our garden. LOL
