Maybe not where you are. Spouting? There is definitely a difference in the efficiency of EV vs ICE. Pretty sure you understand internal combustion and while it’s an exciting way of converting to energy, it’s not the most efficient way.
I almost feel as if this is deja vu and we have had this exact same conversation again and again and again and again........
I appreciate what EV brings as far as technology and performance however I also see that it has a myriad of limitations that makes it a not very viable source of transportation....
I know I definitely wouldn't want to be heading out into a snow storm trying to get somewhere in one, nor would I want to be in the desert in one.....
However, they aren't for the masses where the used car segment is huge and a person can get a good, reliable ICE for an inexpensive price.....
Even used EV are expensive and people generally aren't touching them.
Indeed
Again, apparently not on your area. You’re right that there are a lot of issues to improve with EV, but I’m not ready to write them off.
I'm not either but they aren't where they need to be yet.....maybe in a decade they might be....
I think there should be more emphasis on hybrid technology.....that seems far more viable to me.

At this time I agree very much
Hats off to Kawasaki; they continue to lead the way recently.Available over here, now. A 450cc bike with 1liter acceleration.

This makes sense -, I'll have to research a bit more into how the hybrid system works to better understand.Available over here, now. A 450cc bike with 1liter acceleration.

The Paris Accord was gonna solve this problem. As long as the USA paid a larger disproportionate amount than all the other industrialized nations.
An agreement that Trump got us out of. Which I support.
In the beginning EV was not touted as a climate solution, but as a transition vehicle when the Oil ran out, which for all practical purposes it will because that's established science. The trouble is you can't build them without oil. End of story.
BB you made a good point about the resale market, which for older EV is non-existent aside from giveaways to suckers who want a lawn ornament. So they are basically consumable over a 10 year lifespan. An expense the vast majority can't afford. One off city toys, not a replacement for the World's fleets.

Eons before humanity created ICE.

It is a known fact that the earth was much warmer than it is now at one point in it's history...Eons before humanity created ICE.

It has been at several points in our history.
The trouble is, as usual, the cherry picking of data. The infamous "hockey stick" graph, used as a way to prove global warming and how mankind is responsible. They picked the timeframe they needed to have.
Just like the data to "prove" ICE is 6000 times more likely to catch fire than EVs. Nice convenient defective data to regurgitate.
There's money to be had if they tout the party line......the grants these climate scientists get are astounding....if they were to say what the reality is, their grants would dry up and they would be struggling to find work.....

And there's $$ to be had selling overpriced poorly built EV cars.
Kind of scary when you think of this thing weaponized as is the goal of any sort of robotic device like this....
You can be guaranteed that if there are such devices, there are already countermeasures out there.....I've seen anti-drone countermeasures and I can see why the US hasn't handed that over to Ukraine.......
Yes but wouldn't it make a great camping companion
Of course the downsides of all these are RANGE. Perhaps they could put a small gas turbine gen set in them, like in the model airplanes type small. Batteries sure, but a way of charging them quickly, a hybrid if you like.

It's the Elephant in the room and always has been. What the hell do you do with all the gasoline if you don't burn it in cars? It's why the whole EV transition was BS all along, and those in the know knew it.
