  I’m all for it, but I’m not jumping on board to ev until the infrastructure is at a point where charging is as quick and easy and ubiquitous as filling up gas. Or at least closer than it is now.

  I could however see getting an EV in a two car household where the primary purpose of the EV is for commuting and just getting around locally. Anything beyond that though I would still feel more comfortable with gas or a hybrid.

    That’s what bicycles are for.

  What type of EV? Because people have a habit of conflating the battery powered EV with EVs in general.

  Me and my children crave the microplastics they produce

    Are you sure you don’t crave the greenhouse gases a CEV produced?

    You say as if there are no plastics in ICE-cars.
    I am all for a big reduction in plastics use, so any new thing that has that new plastics smell I dislike.

      I think its funny yet interesting that everyone sees my comment as pro combustion not anti car

        Some of us don’t really have the choice to not have a car, there’s virtually no public transportation where I live.

        It was simply because you answered to a comment about EVs specifically and didn't specify anything else. So your answer does look identical to one that would have been just anti electric car.

        I just wanted to write a dumb comment btw, not arguing for cars of any type, really.
