People arguing about the price of gas, but as soon as someone mentions driving an EV they're "stupid" and woke

Got my 🅱️ig 🅱️rained takes here:

  1. In many use cases, EVs are worse for the environment

  2. Even in these cases, it might be better for the society in that pollution is no longer concentrated in towns and around roads but at power plants where mitigations can be centrally handled by solutions that can be made to scale

  3. In many cases, EVs are far inferior. In many cases, ICEs are far inferior.

  4. I wish I could afford an EV plox send monies

Absolute nonsense. EVs are better for emissions than ICE engines. And a cheaper over the life of the car.
