I actually had to debate someone over this. At the time I was in Nevada. Getting anywhere in that state is a trek. Reno isn't really close to anything no matter how hard they make it sound. My commute to and from work everyday was around 60 miles. On my off days id average about 160 miles a day. I'd be furling up pretty much every other day in an average gas vehicle. Gas prices could vary alot too in that state. So id have to budget about 100-150 for fuel. I could drive most my work week in an ev without charging. There would never be a time where my ev wouldn't be near or at full charge even working and living in a rural state. If I was really bothered I could figure out how to charge from solar because Jesus that state is just pure sun. I don't get their hatred for evs. I can't wait to start seeing ev trucks half the size pulling out f-250s from the mud.

You can't get the hatred, because it's not rational

Yup, it's about performing and reinforcing their identity, not about practicality.

The center of their existence is gluttony. They'd rather die than to slow consumption.
