Comment on Car dealers say they can’t sell EVs, tell Biden to slow their rollout
starbreaker@kbin.social 11 months agoI own my 2008 Sentra outright. Why should I take on a car payment just to "go electric" when the car I have still runs well?

With average us energy mix and fuel economy, a new EV will have emitted less co2 than continuing to use an old gas car after about a year. There are factors other than just co2 to the environment, (for example, cobalt mining is pretty bad) but EVs are much better on co2 at least.

I know. That's another reason I haven't bought one yet, besides being the sort of miser who would rather drive the same car until it falls apart beneath him than take out more high-interest loans.

I didn't say I was holding my breath, just holding out. Besides, I can breathe through my ears.
