Ignorance is the most abundant resource on the planet.
I've made the anti-EV crowd big mad. With the truth. Here's the "best of" from the comments.
"Most people don't sit in line to get gas. My electricity bill is high enough as it is. Thanks for trying"
“I’ve had 2 people garage catch fire this year from charging EV’s. Fire department just lets the house burn. No thanks.”
“Fire fighters put out gas cars. They let EV’s burn.”
“EVs have a colossal range problem... You cannot go from LA to Vegas on a single charge. Imagine turning on the AC and not finding a charger when you need it. I'm not even talking about waiting for 45 min. It's ridiculous.”
“EVs have so many problems. From unreliable batteries whose range varies unpredictably with the temperature, to dependency on the overburdened, incredibly fragile and unreliable electrical grid. In a disaster, you can bring gas & diesel in with tankers, but not electricity.”
“Replace a battery, off to the landfill the car goes. Ever get stuck anywhere without a charging station, absolutely.”
"EVs need to change their tires roughly 2x more frequently, to the point where you need to add that factor into your time spent and money paid"
“An electric car needs to be recharged about every three hours. If you’re having to go to the bathroom more frequently than that, clearly you’re having bladder issues.”
“The loss of range with every charge destroys its resale value. Charging at home is an unacceptable fire risk. If it gets real cold it becomes worthless.”
“If a single battery goes, youer dead. Makes small accidents into big ones.”
“EVs are hunks of crap... takes an eon to charge. At the end of the battery's life the vehicle is worthless.”
And many EV haters simply turned to personal insults and attacks because they had no defense.

I'm amazed people will skip an EV because they take a couple of long trips a year, then sit in Costco gas lines every week to save a buck, when they could just charge at home.
Add the time wasted on emissions inspections, oil changes, and the rest.
EVs don't have a range problem. People have a mindset problem. You almost never go from empty to full. You grab what you need and go. It's faster than most people think.

PSA: People run their tanks empty and fill them to avoid having to stop at gas stations.
Think about that for a minute.

Just because your gas car makes loud farting noises doesn’t mean it’s quick. In fact, the opposite is true.

Why is Social Security so horribly ineffective?
Because, like every other government program, it’s inefficient and fraught with fraud, waste, and abuse. When Elon tried to share that with the world, liberal politicians and the MSM tried to end him.
The system protects the system, not you.
