I don’t know about that. There are many people in this thread who have clearly never owned an EV making all kinds of false statements about them. Unless oil and gas companies are sending bots to Lemmy now I think people just don’t understand EVs.
I think oil and gas companies are responsible for a lot of that misunderstanding though. For example, you think the average person would be concerned about how heavy EVs are without someone pushing that narrative?
Politicians too, and reactionary streamers jumping on the outrage bandwagon. There’s so much misinformation that even many skeptical people fall for it.
Obviously there are still shortcomings, no one is claiming otherwise. But there are far fewer limits than popular culture believes, and even the most aggressive (US) mandates left decades to overcome them
