It's fine to love an electric vehicle---just don't think for even a second that your doing the world wide environment any good.
Welcome to the conversation! It’s more nuanced than that, but I appreciate the comment.

Some tend to see this as a zero-sum game. It is not. IC engines and EVs can both advance. We all win.

Yes, batteries must scale in a sustainable way, and today’s EV are helping to pave the way. You can’t have version two without version one. It will get there. Let’s see where things are in five years!

I wouldnt care if EV’s were organic and not shoved down our throats like it were June. Because theyre pushed, I got a problem with it

Idaho isn't big on code and regulations, we are bit more wild west on how we do things here ?

When I bought my house, the inspector basically said "nothing is to code" and gave me a packet of things he found not to code. The bank didn't even blink.
I completely get it, but in a downpour or melting snow, it just doesn't sound like a good idea to me messing with chargers & extension cords. And in an 'urban' environment there would be a Strong market for 'used' chargers. Just sayin'

Humans have been using electricity in the rain and snow for 100s of years. Do you think RVs and boats disconnect from shore power when it rains? What about using a generator in bad weather?

In an urban environment, there is a much bigger market for 'used' catalytic converters and after market wheels than a $300 EV charger.

It aint 20 and it aint Tree Fiddy, but $300 can help someone get their fix

There are still places where you can leave things outside, and they're still there the next day or a week later. I grew up in rural Idaho, my sister still lives there. It's a much different place than where I am now.

How Different? Did Mr Sluggo move into the old neighborhood?

The new neighborhood is mostly full of people that I don't really care to be around, that have all moved in around me. Can't afford to move, don't want to live where it's cold. Disposal is fairly easy, though, I just leave anything I don't want on the street in front of the house.

It’s really something to always see m@g@ conservatives pretend to care about the environment when it comes to EV fires (even though they catch fire significantly less than ICE vehicles) and battery production. All the while still denying climate change—even when Exxon Mobil themselves admitted that climate change existed back in the 70s.

So, some of y’all magically care about the environment when it suits your argument to dog on EVs with claims not grounded in reality, but when the environment is actually being irreversibly damaged by climate change caused by fossil fuels then it’s all of a sudden “made up by scientists and politicians.”

In future posts, I better see all of the posters here that claimed to care about forest fires from car fires also say they support regulation to prevent more damage to the environment caused by climate change
