I am seeing a lot of negative articles on EV’s lately. They are using the slowdown in EV sales as a result of people abandoning EV’s. Yet I believe the slowdown is from high interest rates, inflation on everything, and people don’t have as much money right now because of inflation.
I just seen an article saying the true cost of running an EV is the equivalent of $17.33 a gallon, based on infrastructure, charging equipment, subsidies, etc. This kind of talk makes me sick, feels like some are pushing against EV’s in a big way, twisting the truth.
Coming from true EV owners what do you all think of this?
Yep, we’ve all seen the hit articles. The $17.33 a gallon is hilariously stupid - iirc the article it came from ignores the immense energy required to extract, refine, store, and distribute gas/diesel as well as the externalities like military intervention in unstable areas to ensure it’s stable availability. The better EV’s get, the more of a threat they are to monied/entrenched interests who’d rather not see the transition to clean energy.
