Gas, you say? Are you sure?

[-] Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

How do they generate electricity where you come from?

[-] Jyek@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago

Mostly coal in the US

Is that where they come from? Because anyone with a wrinkly organ in their skull knows that EV is just gas with extra st3ps

The amount of electricity generated by renewables an ICE car can use is always 0%. That is not true for EVs.

But like a lot more efficient to burn it in a power plant than millions/billions car engines that don't capture the energy well anyways. And then at least renewables can be used in the power grid as well.

Ok. How well does that work with aging electrical infrastructure in places like Boston or Milan?

I mean, like, I totally get you vibing.

Unfortunately infrastructure was built when the world was new. What we all got is what we get, now and forever.

You improve the infrastructure? And while we're at it, build more infrastructure for walking, cycling and public transport instead of inducing further demand for cars
