Ev's are gaining ground. I find it ironic and slightly irritating that their marketing hype is mostly based on "green". Considering the majority of electric power generation in the states is literally fueled by burning something the ev "eco footprint" is likely worse than my diesel truck. By time the coal ash or LNG is harvested from the ground, transported, refined a few times, burned and then that heat is turned into electricity which has to be stepped down, and converted dozens of time before you plug in your big boy power wheels - I suspect the energy efficiency is down in the single digits. Not to mention battery materials and fab methods don't exactly come from rainbows and unicorns poop either.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not in the least concerned about my carbon footprint or any of that granola crunching mythology. And I can appreciate the science and engineering put into these high performance low production vehicles. Just call them what they are and stop broadcasting lies about saving the planet with battery acid.
Ok I feel better. Carry on and buy electric cuz I need all your fuel
