    Take off the foil hat and calm down.

    If I want to go somewhere further than a tank of diesel will allow it takes about 2 minutes to refuel and I’m away again. It is simply not possible to recharge any EV in 5 seconds. Once your battery is empty you’re in for a long wait.

    Also if you’re worried about being mugged and having things stolen from your car you need to move and remember to lock your car before going in to pay. Or pay at the pump.

    Plus the chances of your card being cloned with a chip and pin machine in a shop are so close to zero its not even worth worrying about. But in than 1 in a million chance it happened if you’re smart enough to have a bank account with protection you’ll be covered.

    Petrol and Diesel are so much more convenient its worth paying slightly more for the fuel.

    EV’s are more of a statement. “look at ME! I care about the environment!” Do you bollocks. You’re just after cheap electricity.

      Most of the world doesn’t have drives needing more than a full EV battery, not even most of the US. EV sales are up, and in a lot of places, it’s shifting to be the norm.

      Buying ICE, especially a truck when you don’t need one is a statement, not buying an EV like everyone else.

      Sorry, are you really just going to deny the many crimes taking place at gas stations?

      Once your battery is empty you’re in for a long wait.

      Your battery should never be empty. With modern charging tech it’s usually ~15 mins. at a fast charger to go 10-80%. The car is usually ready before me.

      You’re out of your depth. This still happens all the time.

      LOL no.

        I’m guessing you’re American. The rest of the world isn’t quite the crime ridden hellhole.

        As for charging. Filling my car up doesn’t damage the fuel tank. Fast charging a battery is not good for them.

          Do you think burning diesel doesn’t “damage” your engine? Do you think transmissions last indefinitely?

                I’m not sure where you’re getting your info from. But after 10 years of fast charging an EV’s battery’s will be royally fucked.

                But 10 years for a petrol or diesel car is nothing. My last car was 15 years old and ran like a dream until an old biddy pressed the accelerator instead of the brake in her car and wrote mine off.

                  I’m not sure where you’re getting your info from but no one fast charges their battery for 10 years.

      I think for a commuter car ev is the way to go especially if your jobsite has free or subsidized charging, then an ICE car for camping and road trips
