Electric cars are also heavily subsidized. Without subsidies they are like Tony Stark without his armor. Please don't even try to talk about global warming as I read in previous comments. Really, don't do it.
Electric cars are on the verge of being economically viable without subsidies. They got to that point because subsidies allowed the industry to ramp up supply, by creating demand.
And why shouldn't we talk about global warming? Electrification is an excellent method for lowering CO2 emissions, mainly because electric powertrains are vastly more efficient than ICEs.
Because I hate vulgar and radical Greenpeace-style environmentalism. Is it so hard to understand? Tom Clancy had foreseen all this in "Rainbow six".
So in a nutshell you are opposed to electric cars and emissions reductions because people you don't like / fear are in favour of them?
Ok forget about global warming etc. what about smog, exhaust particulates etc. known carcinogens that cause very nasty cancers? What about the fact that we need oil for chemicals and materials that we cant survive without these days, shouldn't we be conserving it for that instead of just burning it?
By the way I am a complete petrol head, love cars ,love driving fast, pride myself in having one of the fastest cars where I live, one lucky bloke has a lambo, but there's another with a faster car than mine, a Tesla 3. Reality is is, if I want to keep driving fast cars I will need to go electric within the next several years.
