“Why are you always running into these EV threads as if you spend your entire non-FR time suckling a Prius? Are you Chinese or just some silly, insufferable fanboy?”
Trying to counter truly uniformed posters who know nothing about EV’s but trash them. For example Posters saying the batteries are not recyclable when all the ones made in the last year are the new LF and are 100% recylable.
But you are right I’m done trying to inform posters who do not even do the most basic research about EV’s. What is truly scary is they do not even know how misinformed they really are. I have never run across such a group of luddites.
Do you realize that when EV's first appeared on the market that their target audience was women due to their ease of use?
Why would men back then risk breaking an arm while crank starting a Winton or ALCO, having to mess with the spark, choke the engine, etc.? They could have been just like the wimmin folk, hopping in the thing and go.
The reasons EV's died back then are just as valid today. Same with steam powered automobiles.
And don't use the range argument. Boston Electric had vehicles that could do 200 miles per charge with upgraded Edison batteries prior to WWI.
