Comment on The EV transition trips over its own cord

  Hahaha, you don’t need anti-ev propaganda. They don’t work for most people, they cost way more than ICE, and their enviro benefits haven’t been demonstrated.

  To that last point before you go off saying they have, then where are the spreadsheets showing eery detail of both? Because that’s how business makes decisions - we analyze the living daylights out of every angle, every possible way to present a piece of data.

  I do risk analysis as part of my job - I’ve done more analysis for a single upgrade to a piece of software/hardware than I’ve ever seen published for Ev’s. If you want to convince people, it would simple with some clear analysis.

  That we don’t see that analysis published with easy access, and shouted from the rooftops, tells me all I need to know.

    There's a lot more. The CA Air Resources Board did a study on this too, which drove CA's EV mandate. You could have googled it before posting this. Weird that you didn't. Weird.

    Wow. I feel bad for the company that employs you. Some very biased analysis going on there.

    The questions you have to answer to build such a spreadsheet decide the result, not the data. How many kinds of cars are out there? What’s their cost vs. comfort, cost vs. performance, cost vs. efficiency or cost vs. reliability? Not even considering powertrain you’re already drowning in data, and that’s assuming customers are rational. If they were, the “correct” car, SUV, and truck would already be decided.

      Well yeah, a “correct” SUV is known as a station wagon but for some reason people hate them lol
