  • No, EVs in general aren’t a bad idea. But, to my knowledge, they have a lot of problems that no one is even getting close to solving on a global basis. There’s recycling of and mining for components, preferably in a sustainable way and without child workers. Also, EVs are still expensive as fuck compared to ICE vehicles, especially on the used market. And if you’re buying used, then the battery doesn’t even have full capacity anymore. And even IF you can get it switched by a mechanic (if you can even find one willing to do that), that is just even more money you have to spend upfront.

    Granted, most of that might change over time, but for most people atm it’s just not feasible to buy an EV.
