  • Pretty much; although, (more importantly IMO) it also removes their economic support from oil companies. GHG’s are still produced when obtaining lithium for the batteries, aluminium for the body, etc. There’s as well the break and tyre particles that are still major pollutants regardless… despite all that it’s still better then using a gas engine.

    It’s also not easy to convince someone to change their preferred mode of transport and EV’s provide an acceptable (and in many ways superior) alternative. Not to mention taking the bus or riding a bike just isn’t feasible for some people, similarly some places (like Japan with three separate voltage standards) don’t have the necessary infrastructure and capacity to support EV’s.



  • That supremely sucks… there’s probably already mould growing. Have you thought of how electrical outlets can accidentally cause fires?

    I live on an island and getting between cities is shitty if you don’t have your own vehicle. The only direct options are a relatively cheap delivery van “bus” or an overpriced actual bus. It’s nicer and easier to take a ferry to the mainland, bus over to another ferry terminal, take the other ferry back to the island and ‘bus’ from there. It costs maybe $10 more and an extra hour or so, but it’s so much better then squishing into one of those vans and breathing peoples farts for six hours.

    On a heavier note, my Grandma’s dementia has gotten pretty bad so we can’t spend the night an their home any more.
