Pssst, we are not allowed to talk about this. The "funny" thing about this is that EVs barely make up a tiny fraction of all available vehicles. The EU especially is aiming to ban conventional vehicles (which all have their fair share of issues) in the name of "fighting climate change". For this they are okay with exploiting workers, children, without any thought of the consequences (guess, the "climate" is more important to them, yet conventional car usage won't really impact the climate by much if anything, since total fuel consumption is laughable compared to what the industry is using, has to use more specifically).<br>Not only is there no infrastructure to support hundreds of millions of EVs in the EU (yet at least, since we're also kneecapping our energy production), there's simply no capacity to produce EVs in such quantity, let alone the resources necessary to do so ... which will lead to year-long wait times (already the case with Tesla to an extent) and increasingly more expensive vehicles nobody can afford, unless you're rich.<br>All their plans, and people need to realize this, aim at reducing the number of cars available to almost nothing, which in turn will fuck up the entire world economy, since there aren't any viable alternatives.<br>To sum it all up you're not supposed to own a car anymore, you're at the mercy of whichever car sharing company is available in your region. Flying is also going to be more and more restricted and elitist. And public transportation in most parts of the world is simply not able to step in. Those who can work from home might be better off, but ultimately everyone is going to suffer from this "trend".<br>I have absolutely nothing against EVs, but this push as the "clean alternative" is bullshit, and people need to know it ... not that they'd care, because that's just the times we live in. People don't care, until it's too late. More research is required and alternatives have to be gradually implemented. You can't just force such a massive change ... especially seeing as to how low the benefits are. Why are car makers on board with this? They smell profits and subsidies galore ... if conventional cars are banned, then everyone will need a replacement EV, meaning more profits ... until everything comes down crashing and burning, but CEOs don't really care about that, do they? They'll be long gone by then. Right now hybrids should be the focus if anything. Best of both worlds, perhaps? Still problematic, but at least the grid can support a change to hybrids ... which is not possible with EVs...
