Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Too late (I hope). At this point anyone buying a petro powered car is just an idiot. Though unfortunately there are about 33% of the public who have demonstrated pure idiocy already.
Pure ignorance right here. Sure, if you own a house you can install a wallbox or whatever and just charge at home. Maybe that's the case in the US where I guess home ownership is rather high. But if you don't own a home and live in a rented apartment, you most likely have to use public charging infrastructure. And if that doesn't exist or simply not enough charging stations are available, then you can't switch to an EV and have to continue to use an ICE car.
Also, since EVs are rather new, they can be more costly, even used ones. So again, those with little money will have to stick with an ICE car for the forseeable future.
sorry for not being able to afford an EV
EVs are pretty much on par with gas cars new….
I'm not buying new
Or they need to drive further than a battery allows... I assume this is post on you given "petro".
Most EVs on the market have ranges on par with gas cars. 300 or so miles.
The only real difference is instead of 5 minutes to pay and fill up a gas tank, it take like 20 minutes to charge on a fast charger.
This is definitely an issue. Because if you want a car with serious EV range it costs a lot more for that range, and infrastructure for EV is still a problem.
Looking forward to the EREVs. If trump doesn’t do something to kill them, too.
EREVs add additional complexity, cost and emissions though. Battery tech is developing rapidly still, so EVs built 5 years from now will have more range and faster charging for less money.
