For the life of me I still cannot understand why some people are so vehemently anti EV. I personally have no desire to own one myself, but the outright disdain some people show towards these vehicles really surprises me.

If you don't want an EV car, then don't get one. Technological advancement doesn't stop. and ICEs have been around for well over a hundred years now. We're way overdue for a replacement, one that is both more efficient, cheaper to maintain, more reliable, and better for the environment.

I just don't understand the hatred. I'll drive an ICE powered car until it either becomes too prohibitive to run, or laws are enacted against their use etc., but I'll never fault the technology or hope we all go back to gas guzzling V8s. It makes no sense.

If you're a motor head like me, you should cheer the advancement of EVs. More EVs means less gas is going to be used up, which is going to drive the price of gasoline down. Where is the downside in any of this?
