    EVs aren’t working

    “Yeah, between the difficulty getting battery materials and non-renewable electricity generation they probably aren’t having much impact as a solution for climate change.”

    “WTF are you talking about, we just mean no one is buying them.”

    “For the reasons I gave?”

    “lol no, because they just want a gas car”
