Overview:

Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

Living with my Lucid Air Touring has not been pleasant - it's a buggy mess.

This video is the best advertisement I've ever seen for not replacing my old car without any smarts and mechanical-everything that's important.

In fairness, it's not really a criticism of electric vehicles, but rather a criticism of "cellphone cars". I have nothing against EVs, I just wish they came with simple controls that made them good vehicles.

There are quite a few EVs that come with simple controls (respectively). It's just the companies spawned to make EVs that decide to reinvent the wheel.

I've had a Chevy Bolt EUV and a Hyundai Ioniq 5 - both have physical buttons for most of what I want.
