| Yes, the antipathy towards electric cars is strange. I get the eco-purist view - everybody driving around in big metal boxes does look fundamentally unsustainable for a world population of 7 Billion. I happen to disagree, but I can see where they are coming from. I disagree because, despite the current issues, energy is getting cheaper and greener all the time. It can easily be 100% renewable by 2050 if we carry on as we are. Electric cars are completely recyclable - although Lithium, Cobalt and Nickel need to be mined, they are not then burnt. They will forever be available for reuse. The pro ICE lobby are the weird ones. EVs are now better than ICE cars in every way you can measure; safer, faster, easier to drive, more fun to drive, cleaner, quieter, more spacious, cheaper to run, cheaper to maintain and more reliable. The only downsides are initial cost, and that will cease being an issue in the next few years, and range - which having driven to both the Alps and Edinburgh in a single day, I can say is not really a problem anymore. Some people just don’t like change, I guess. |
