    Maybe those binders are correct for you in your EV but not for me with my ICE.

    I’ve never needed 15 minutes to get gas. As long as there’s an open pump, if all I’m doing is gassing up, it’s 5 minutes, if that.

    on road trips that’s all your doing? You’re not going in for a bathroom break and to buy snacks? Somehow I highly doubt that and even if you are you are in the minority. There’s a reason they’re called rest stops out on long stretches of roads, they’re not just for gas.

    But if I need a new car in the next 5 years, I’m not even considering one, and most of the reasons for that are reasons that proponents are acknowledging, even as they’re trying to be patronizing and condescending and shaming anyone who points out valid drawbacks.

    you haven’t pointed out any drawbacks, you’ve just spread a bunch of incorrect FUD.

    It’s not like people are saying EVs are bad, just that the reality of the situation right now is that, for many, deciding to switch over to one from an ICE will mean, in some ways, changing the ways they live around the limitations and necessities that come with the EV, and that for many, these changes tip the scales away from the EV.

    This is also incorrect, unless you are towing things. Like I said before. This is just a bunch of FUD.

    edit: i just reread your initial comment. you literally bring up getting a snack and using the restroom. ahaha you can’t even keep your own story straight.

    we’re talking going from a 10 minute break to get gas, grab a snack and use the restroom to more like 30 minutes waiting for the car

      What the fuck are you talking about? I never said that.

      Maybe learn to read a username before you cock off.
