My reason for not buying an EV: it's still a fucking car. Bit less shit, but still shit.
That should be Number 1 Reason to not buy an EV!
Well yeah if you can avoid it you shouldn't buy a car, but if you have to buy a car you should buy electric
Agreed! EVs are certainly superior to ICE cars, but they're a band aid instead of a solution.
