Boy... if all those 2010 Leafs are still on the road, why can't I find any used for sale??

How is being stranded with no way to charge your EV not a concern for owners?

And yes, potentially gas stations could be vandalized as well -- except they aren't, and charge stations are.

This excludes major battery recalls, such as the Chevy Bolt and Hyundai Kona.

This is not an isolated incident.

How do you know how much environmental damage...

I do?

Irrelevant.

Pretty easy to make a comparison to the average American. It's like BMI -- it's bigger than the individual and not a metric useful for individual comparison.

Drivers reported making an average of 2.44 driving trips, spending 60.2 minutes behind the wheel, and driving 30.1 miles each day in 2022. Projecting these results to all drivers nationwide, 255 million drivers made a total of 227 billion driving trips, spent 93 billion hours driving, and drove 2.8 trillion miles in 2022, all of which represented small but not statistically significant decreases relative to 2021.

I average 0 miles a day driving.

Gas engines are cheaper

Yeah, I understand perfectly that you're hilariously wrong. My car is paid off. It's just maintenance at this point. How is that going to be more expensive than buying an EV?

aniki , to xkcd in xkcd #2948: Electric vs Gas

Either they are priced higher or they aren't. They are priced higher and as such I won't be buying one anytime soon. Not until they are a decade old on their original batteries.

I'll keep my ICE and ride a bike. I'll still do less environmental damage than you because I am human powered for all but the trips to the mountains, and then I don't have to worry about being stranded without a plug.

And I have yet to hear a convincing argument that taking my perfectly working vehicle off the road to buy another manufactured product is still more environmentally friendly than... not buying anything at all.

I don't give a fuck about initial torque. I'm going to be laughing in my wheetabix when there's not a single EV older than a decade on their original batteries.

Downvotes don't make me wrong, chuds.

My 2010 wagon has 180k and I can still take it to the mountains and not worry about finding a broken charge port on the way home.

Then why are EVs priced higher than ICE?

Chickenshit. All rights are won through violence.
