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.

This is the problem with halfway solutions. The people that buy them don’t want to change their behaviour, and unsurprisingly, don’t change the behaviour.
I got a PHEV and two months (that was at the start of covid, it took ages) before it finally arrived my city got rid of the charger near my house. Cool cool, thanks.
The next one wasn't extremely far away, but you'll think twice if you want to walk ten minutes through a hail storm.
I wonder how many actually want to, but can't. We sure tried arguing with a HOA that blocks all feasible options and a landlady that won't push the issue because she doesn't live here and couldn't give less of a fuck if she was paid to.
I also wonder how many would if it was easier and cheaper. Like, who'd want to pay for a charging station or walk ten minutes?
I imagine that kind of speculative figure is harder to pin down reliably though.
