OK, evs are wonderful, solve every use and should be mandated for every application.. I can't wait until they can fly and are used in marine uses. batteries are the solution for everything.
Ferris you also forgot the ones who don't own them and spew positive vaporware..
The only opinion that matters are the owners and users of them.
The long term test on this should be good to follow,
I don't think I've ever said anything like that. But that's alright if it made you feel better.

soon as trump or biden puts those tariffs on china, which they both say they will do that should really help lower the cost of evs.

Shit, Trump said cancel the income tax and fund the government with tariffs across the board. That should help everything.

Battery Majors Suffer Profit Drop on Lower-Than-Expected EV Sales LG Energy, one of the biggest players in the EV battery space, reported a 58% drop in operating profits for the second quarter of the year, attributing the figure to the slowdown in EV sales. The news came a day after another South Korean battery major, SK On, declared an emergency after 10 consecutive quarters of losses stemming from trends in EV demand that have missed analyst and company expectations. LG Energy and SK On are, respectively, the world’s third- and fourth-largest EV battery manufacturers. oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/Battery-Majors-Suffer-Profit-Drop-on-Lower-Than-Expected-EV-Sales.html

Sales going nowhere but up. Amazing how many double down on falsehoods and lies and just plain ole stupidity, even when they would benefit from the technology. evadoption.com/ev-sales/ev-sales-forecasts/www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-05-28/the-slowdown-in-us-electric-vehicle-sales-looks-more-like-a-blipSales Looks More Like a Blip EV sales are still booming for most automakers — even if Tesla is in a rut. How China’s BYD Overtook Tesla In this Article GENERAL MOTORS CO 44.98 –0.63% TESLA INC 173.83 –0.54% FORD MOTOR CO 11.85 –1.54% EV GROWTH FUND -- Have a confidential tip for our reporters? Get in Touch Before it’s here, it’s on the Bloomberg Terminal LEARN MORE By Tom Randall May 28, 2024 at 7:30 AM EDT After an underwhelming start to the year for US electric-vehicle sales, it might seem easy to conclude that the boom times are over. Sales were flat in the first quarter, Ford dramatically scaled back expansion plans and Tesla laid off 10% of its global workforce. But these dismal indicators only tell part of the story. For every sign of an EV slowdown, another suggests an adolescent industry on the verge of its next growth spurt. In fact, for most automakers, even the first quarter was a blockbuster. Six of the 10 biggest EV makers in the US saw sales grow at a scorching pace compared to a year ago — up anywhere from 56% at Hyundai-Kia to 86% at Ford. A sampling of April sales similarly came in hot. Oops... Wonder how many others are faking the data. Napleton Aurora Imports in Illinois recently filed a lawsuit in federal court in Chicago, alleging that Hyundai pressured US auto dealers to "artificially inflate its publicly reported sales" of electric vehicles, creating a "false narrative" for consumers. The suit, Napleton Aurora Imports Inc et al v. Hyundai Motor America Corp, claims Hyundai instructed some dealers to "falsely report unsold vehicles as 'sold' to a retail customer or placed into loaner service, only to reverse the 'sale' the following month." Boosting fake EV sales allowed Hyundai to pump out a "press release touting its increased year-over-year sales and its growth in the electric vehicle (EV) sector." "Dealers who refuse to help HMA boost its fake numbers—like Napleton—are punished with allocations of slow selling vehicles, and denied wholesale price discounts, allocation, and retail price discounts to offer consumers, stifling competition and harming both Napleton and the public," the suit said.

Stolen from internet...
I'm thinking of replacing my EV with an ICE (gas/diesel) car and have some questions: 🤔
1. ICE cars cannot refuel while you sleep or directly from solar power during the day. How often do you have to refill elsewhere and is it expensive? Will there be a solution for re-fuelling at home by 2030?
2. How often will I need to service? The salesman mentioned engine oil, timing belts, a clutch and transmission with oil. How much will this service cost - and what happens to the used oil? Is there any risk of it leaking?
3. Apparently these ICE cars stop on the brakes alone - so how long will the brakes last compared to my EV which can last over 250,000 km thanks to regenerative braking.
4. In a petrol or diesel car, do I get some fuel back when I slow down or drive downhill?
5. The car I test drove seemed to have a delay from the time I pressed the accelerator until it began to accelerate. Is that normal in petrol cars?
6. Is it true that petrol & diesel is so flammable that you can only buy it at a special filling station, and not anywhere like hotels, car parks, home, work, holiday parks?
7. I understand the main ingredient in petrol is oil. Is it true that the extraction and refining of oil causes massive environmental problems as well as conflicts and major wars that over the last 100 years have cost millions of lives?
8. I have also been told that you have to transport oil all over the world to turn into petrol or diesel, and these huge ships have, in the past, caused massive environment destruction by leaking oil. Is that true?
9. I have been told that these ICE engines make a noise when you start them - so early starts can wake people up, and driving a lot of ICE cars makes towns noise polluted?
10. Is it true that people can steal the fuel from your tank?
11. I've heard that ICEs are only 32% efficient at best on a highway, but they can be lower than 10% efficient in city start-stop traffic. Most of the energy is lost as heat, which seems extremely wasteful. Can this be fixed somehow?
12. The exhaust emissions from ICEs have been proven to contain toxic particulates and Nitrogen oxide which is extremely harmful. They also release C02 emissions which has proven to drive global warming and associated climate change.Can these emissions be stopped?
If I can get all of the above answered and it turns out there are no downsides to owning a ICE car, I may consider buying one.

13. How do i reconcile that my EV produces far more particulate pollution and adds more micro plastics into the environment than the ice I want to buy.
14. Im thinking how convenient it will be to refuel in 5 minutes no matter where i live....running the extension cord from my apartment out to the street has been a pain and always gets stolen.
