It’s pretty much known that using an electric car, even if the electricity comes from a fossil fuel plant is far, far, more environmentally friendly than internal combustion engines. Sure, it’s not the perfect ideal, but it is a significant step in the right direction. Bringing up fossil fuel burned to make electricity as a deterrent to electrical car adoption is disingenuous at best.
Also it sets the stage to replace the electricity source with nuclear or renewable sources. It’s a lot easier to replace a single generating facility then millions of private cars.
My commute has only ever been about 40 miles round trip. It’s been the best car purchase I’ve ever made, in decades of buying vehicles. Sure, I’m not taking any road trips in it, but there are easy ways around that. I actually budgeted an extra $200 on my electric bill, about what I spent on gas on my other vehicle, and it just wasn’t even close to that. Well, getting closer these days, but the cost of electricity has gone up a bit. Still, financially, a great deal.

There’s also home solar panels to consider. I imagine there’s a significant overlap between people who have EVs and people who have solar panels.

Sorry bud. I bought a used Leaf for about $11k a good 5-6 years ago. I’m poor as shit.

Who cares why they bought it. We don’t run on values. You are a nonsense talker.
Facts have vanquished you. Now begone troll
Huh?
