oh wow I didn't know that!

would make sense to give more a lot incentives for EV buying if so!

Everytime you bring it up, you get a whole lot of people with gasoline powered cars getting very angry. Sure batteries are not 'perfect', but they are a whole lot better in almost every way compared to gasoline powered vehicles.

but this result was so unwelcome that the research got hidden away.

the climate, oil industry did not like it was being contradicted.

It's fun to imagine an opposite world where everybody has EVs and other more efficient forms of transit, and then industry wants to introduce ICE vehicles to the market.

You fill it with flammable liquid poison and it shoots gaseous poison out the back while it's running, and nobody can refuel at home, and it's immensely more mechanically complex, but at least it's quick to fill with fuel at the fuel store! Just try not to inhale the poisonous explosive fumes or spill the poisonous volatile liquid on yourself while you do it.

Bro, didn't you know solar panels get hot when in the sun? Global warming!!

Clearly everyone should run a diesel generator in their living room just to be safe.

Most issues require nuance, and the internet does not have the concept of nuance at all. I did my research and bought my EV, no regrets at all. Not only do I know it's better because I haven't consumed gas now in over 2 years, it's also simply the best and easiest car I've ever owned. It's a no brainer to get one. Anyone who says otherwise I think firmly needs to think about their connection with propaganda.

I'm sure we'll eventually get to the point where they invent rapid charging batteries that can fully charge in 5 minutes. But realistically we don't need it, you just change the way you think about fuelling up.

It's not like oil extraction and processing doesn't have it's issues, and you have to do that for every trip.

Once your battery is made, the materials are there and can (probably, needs some work) be recycled forever.
