My reason for not buying an EV: it's still a fucking car. Bit less shit, but still shit.

That should be Number 1 Reason to not buy an EV!

Agreed! EVs are certainly superior to ICE cars, but they're a band aid instead of a solution.

Bring back public transit!

Well yeah if you can avoid it you shouldn't buy a car, but if you have to buy a car you should buy electric

I mean, technically, an eBike is an Electric Vehicle, and not a fucking car. Otherwise, hard agree.

Fuck cars alright, but as long as I'm dependant on a car, my no.1 reason to get an EV is that I hate the oil industry even more. Fuck their oil and money and pollution and fuck their wars and politics.
