Charge time and the ability for the vehicle to be completely controlled (including disabled) with uncontrolled centralized / proprietary software changes makes them totally inferior in my opinion. Two realities of EVs that can’t be negated.
Range is bad to terrible and extreme weather effects on EVs are also areas where they’re objectively inferior, currently.
The battery issue is another major concern. They degrade, are very expensive to replace and the rare earth metals used to make them are mined almost exclusively with slave labor. Not something I care to get involved with.
An entire motor swap on a diesel vehicle would be 5-7k and that doesn’t have any complicity in slavery. And that motor will last two or three times longer than an EV battery. My diesel also gets 650-700 miles per tank and is completely refueled in under 5 minutes. EVs just cannot compete.
Some of these issues with EVs may be remedy with time and technology evolution but some of the fatal EV flaws can’t be fixed. It’s a no from me, dawg.
