I was watching this person’s videos on the matter. And was wondering what your experience has been with EVs and your opinion on the different connectors?

    Personally, I think that they are here to save the car industry, not the climate. There is no where near enough lithium to replace most ICE cars with EVs.

    The amount of concrete production (for infrastructure) combined with a wave of EV production will be terrible for the climate. I do not believe it is sustainable for all adults to own any type of vehicle, and to build and maintain the roads to drive on. Public transport is necessary for a green transition.

    Change my mind because honestly my own opinion makes me sick.

      I agree, the amount of damage car infrastructure is doing is severely underestimated. All that concrete needs to be made, regularly maintained and disposed of in the end. Not to mention heat absorption in hotter parts of the world. I don’t know how people in desert areas handle it it seems like hell.
