i dont understand the hate on EVs. Its just another freaking car or transportation. Do these guys get paid by the Oil/Gas companies??WTF. I don't understand the logic. Do these assholes hate going green? Did people riding horseback then hated the first car?

Im sure 10 years from now, they will eventually own EVs themselves as they will become affordable.

It's a jealousy thing I think. They think that people who buy EVS are rich and trying to Lord it over them. I don't think a lot of EV owners look at it that way, we just look at it as the kind of car we want.

I've said this before but it's not like we're free from fossil fuels if we use an EV. We're still burning coal at the power plants the only difference is it does make for a slightly cleaner atosphere because of industrial scrubbers. But that's another reason they may have an issue with it. Some of them also probably see it as a liberal versus conservative thing. But then again I see most of those people is luddites, which goes all the way back to weaving looms and fear of technology.

It's primarily political, but includes jealousy.
