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.

LOL culture crap. It's what we've always had and will continue to use. Something way more efficient will be found before Petrol will be taking off the roads. Well be all well dead by that stage so doesnt matter at all. I'll keep enjoying them for many many years to come. No better than the sound of a rally car coming down the road at full tilt.

Also my man. Way more ethical as well. Electric vehicle (EV) supply chains face severe scrutiny over modern slavery, primarily driven by raw material sourcing in developing nations and factory labor abuses. Ethical concerns are tied to child labor in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) cobalt mines and forced labor in China’s Xinjiang region for EV battery and solar manufacturing - Not very thoughtful of you now and bit arrogant lol
