Lastly, putting works in someone's mouth, yelling (yeah I know it is words but you get my point), and basically reducing the discussion to attacking/defending, is the reason people no longer have polite debates. So, well done, you have successfully driven me away from this conversation. You can continue to yell your opinion into a self reinforcing vacuum. |

It all comes down to cost of ownership, and EVs outpace ICE cars between 8-10X when it comes to money coming out of your pocket.
EVs are perfect as grocery-getter, kid-hauler and commuting vehicles - basically 95% of the types of things a car is for. EVs are far more efficient in traffic than on the highway, and even there, they're still 5-8 times less costly to run (vs 10-12x in the city). Leno had a great comparison between ICE cars and horses - Just because cars replaced horses didn't mean horses and horseback riding went away. In fact, there are still about 1/2 as many horses as there were 100 years ago and they lead a MUCH better life today than before the transition took place. They went from a being primarily a working animal to a sporting animal. Same with ICE - they're not going to go away, and the one that will remain will be enjoyed by their owners and cared for far better. Source: we're driving an EV 95% of the time and I take my family out in the 'silly loud car' for drives every now and then when I feel like shifting gears and thrashing it through turns making my wife and kid giggle, only to realized that I spend as much money on gas in an afternoon as it would cost to charge the car for 2 months. |

Each, what you call conspiracies, proved to be factual. All of them. Try some different research avenues because you're in the weeds, along with millions of other trusting souls. Cheers.

Can't believe I just had to read four consecutive posts about how only the EV MPGe figure-generators are the people who cook their books.
In a 5 minute google search I could probably compile a blatantly-obvious list of bad actors in the oil/petroleum industry. These companies have embedded themselves to the highest levels; this industry has apparently brainwashed the masses into thinking they're looking out for the public's best interest. Who was the biggest advocate for vapes to replace cigarettes? Marlboro's investment team, behind the scenes. MPG and MPGe are both a racket and it's asinine to think one is not because you like the torque-generating method of ICE or EV. But they're all we have to judge publicly.
