Am I going crazy of has the amount of anti-EV “articles” started to skyrocket. Just today, I’ve seen a “Why I’m not buying an EV” concern article, some accusing Biden of killing EVs, “The true costs of buying an EV,” and my favorite: “Study: The True Cost of Charging an EV: $17/gallon.” (That study was funded by Exxon Mobil, lol).
What’s going on? Why is all the EV hate in the media ramping up?
They’re all effing idiots.
(Assuming we’re talking about US-based oil companies)
In other parts of the world, oil companies are refocusing as energy companies and spreading their focus to hydro, solar, wind, wave, and so on.
Also, where do they think the power to charge all those EVs are coming from?
It’s NOT just appearing out of the blue. Well, wind and solar maybe…
There’s also the fact that we’ll have a need for liquid fuels for a long time still, so the end isn’t near for them. Unfortunately.
It’ll take a long time before shipping becomes independent of oil.
Sure, we’ve got over 80 car ferries running solely on electricity here in Norway, But those generally have routes with no more than 30minutes sailing time. and 1.2MW contactless chargers on the docks…
That’s not going to amount for much with a Panamax or larger cargo ship is it?
