    Lol this is like the guy the other day who’s post said “The Real Cost of Ev is $17/gallon” or some dumbass shit from some Texas study. I pointed out the “study” was done by the following organization:

    Report is by the Texas Public Policy Foundation

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Public_Policy_Foundation

    “Projects of the organization include Right on Crime, which is focused on criminal justice reform,[4] and Fueling Freedom, which seeks to “explain the forgotten moral case for fossil fuels”[5] by rejecting the scientific consensus on climate change.[6]”

    “Donors to the organization include energy companies Chevron, ExxonMobil, and other fossil fuel interests.”

    People are talking shit on EVs non stop. The amount of times I’ve seen people call Teslas and other EVS shitboxes (there’s a guy like 3 comments down saying this) that break non stop and cant even hit 100k miles, or think they burn a house down or catch fire while driving, or they think they only get 180 miles and have to charge for 45 mins before going another 180 is insane. The amount of misinformation is crazy.

    Btw, the mods left that article up and just attached the “misleading” tag to it, so you can see where they stand. Mods shouldn’t be letting bullshit “studies” about EVS be posted from a group like the above, but instead they left it up so double digit iq idiots can point to it as another reason to avoid EVS while quoting that article.

      Reminds me of the German study stating EVs produce way more CO2 than petrol cars using the Hypothese "every kWh used comes from coal plants and cars are produced using coal energy while petrol cars are built using clean energy and petrol transportation as well as refinement were not considered.

      I kind of agree with the mods leaving it up. We should definitely be able to see what shitty journalism is being put out there, so that we can identify bad actors not give credibility to them. People that don’t look at the flair AND don’t read the articles are going to be misinformed regardless.
