    1. EVs will never be the mainstream without federal and state project support

    in not sure about that… imo EVs would be relatively comparable if ICE vehicles and oil didn’t have massive subsidies at every stage from governments… more if negative externalities were properly accounted for

    or maybe not: in australia we have a fuel excise and EV credit and they’re still pretty expensive relative to ICE

      I know you meant internal combustion engine, but it gave me a pause because I thought you were talking about ice agents

        i absolutely agree and considered using a different phrase but it’s been the phrase to use for fossil fuel powered cars for so long i decided they don’t get to exclusively steal it

      EV’s only become popular when cheaper. It’s a fact.

      Not everyone lives in areas where solar installs at ean option. The offset doesn’t make sense when you go north or south of the globe where the sun don’t shine.
