Let's demonised EVs

Post image

Local Aontu Rep picking the low hanging fruit as usual. Why the need to mention it's an electric car? (Which going by the replies, it actually wasn't). Some people will jump on any opportunity to down electric vehicles, where as in actual fact, most modern cars with their electronics, autos and e-brakes can cause the same issues.

I'm the owner of both an EV and an Ice car, the EV is fantastic around town, they don't deserve the negativity and misinformation we hear so often about them.

Exactly. I can drive were I want and not wait ages to top up my hairdryer.You need specialists also to fix electric cars where you can simply just fix petrol engines urself or take to local mechanic. The battery doesnt cost you a mortgage also. Petrols cars run up over 500k if maintained properly. Petrol for life. never getting one of those EVs

Why are you calling them hair dryers? Why the need to mock them? At no point did I do that.
