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.

Uhh on what sites? Every driver I talk to online or otherwise have nothing but praise for EV.
Yes. Drivers.
But the online mediasphere is chock-full of EV haters regurgitating propaganda about how they’re worse for the environment, the posters suddenly care about child labor in foreign countries, and then there’s the regressive mentally 14 year old tools who can’t handle a car that doesn’t spew noise and exhaust everywhere to make people look at them because that’s a real car. But none of them have owned an EV.
I’m a big car fan, but the majority of car fans are backwards and stubborn. They can’t stand the idea of EV, they have to have the ability to make stupid power with lots of noise to drive to the mall. Thing is there’s room for both EV and ICE cars. They need to get a grip and stop hyperbolizing that it’s a binary choice, ICE is going to be around for a good while longer.
They need their emotional support vehicle to be noisy because otherwise they are not "real machos". Driving a silent EV is for girlies, not for realmen™
EVs are fast as fuck without even trying. There's nothing macho about watching an Ioniq 5 blow your gas guzzling street racer off the line.
Facebook, according to the original headline. But I changed it because I knew I'd be getting 5 different comments from people getting hung up on the 'Facebook' part.
There’s a car site for leaks and industry news called Auto Spies that just constantly shits on EVs. They used to be good for breaking new car info, but now they have a massively right slant on everything.
I've seen YouTube videos of those car sales guys talking to customers and then regretting getting an EV because of the distance and lack of charging stations and stuff.
How many of videos are real and all that, I have no idea. Also, most of those customers are rolling negative equity and stuff so not a great judgment.
