You still need fuel for cooking and heating when camping in cold weather. Going all electric in an off grid environment is foolish

@Pneuma40 wood is not that convenient though.fresh cut wood doesn't burn very easily. Carrying dried and cut firewood to camp site that's not weight efficient at all. Best is still to use stuff like propane or butane

You are the kind that always think status quo will continue. I bet 10 years ago you'd never guessed how wide spread electric cars would be today. You probably said EVs would never work. Battery density too low. Charging time too slow etc.

They will build more coal plants to supply the grid just like China. CO2 emissions will increase not decrease because of EVs

@jimgraham6722 Good for you, but power bills for me is cheap. Why go through all that hassel just to save some peanuts? The interest generated from my investments in 1 day pays 2 months worth of electricity bill for my house. And all I have to do to manage that investment is a few clicks of buttons once in a while. None of that physical chores associated with living off grid. If I wanted to see nature, I just rent an airbnb and have all the cleaning and supplies taken care of.

@joebloggs6131 that is true. My point is reverse that not everyone lives in a place where batteries can replace fossil fuel. Trying to do so imposes tremendous inconvenience and even danger.

@chrisbarron5861 because they don't have enough long term study data to know what happened after 10 years of degradation. We just don't know.. Some claim LFP chemistry batteries can last 25 years, some say 10-15

@howardj602 to enjoy nature in comfort is every civilized gentleman's pursuit. Only if you are a caveman then don't mind roughing it

@howardj602 you confuse the discomfort of civilization with comfort. Nobody wants the noise but everyone wants the hot water when bathing

EVs should be cheaper than ice cars. Even then it's still hard sell for someone living in an apartment without home charger. It's just less convenient given the current state of infrastructure build out

@justaskin8523 Tesla has exploded while parked also. What's your point? China EV quality range widely as they have hundreds of brands. Good and bad. Many fossil fueled BMWs have caught fire while parked also way more actually then EVs. I don't see the US banning all German cars?

@justaskin8523 the only way to get people up adopt EVs is government tax the gasoline to a point that'd more expensive to drive a gas car then EV

@philspencelayh5464 I agree. In the mean time I think phevs are the best solution

@PC-vq5ud but will cost more to repair even it's old and out of warranty

@sahastradhara China is the leader in solar production yet they are building way more coal plants than before. Solar can't provide base load. Nuclear is still too expensive. Battery storage is also expensive. If China can't even do it, what do you think Africa and Latin American countries to go full renewable?

@Stekopo you know that burning coal to produce electricity then send it by transmission lines will lose 80% of energy in the process. By the time it gets in your EV battery you get 15% energy efficiency. Burning Petro at least gets you 35% energy efficiency. It's basic physics. If you run your EV on renewable or nuclear then you reduce emissions. If you run your EV on coal power, it's worse. No argument here.

Curb your enthusiasm. Going from 0 to 20% adoption seemed fast but i doubt tht pace will continue. It'll probably stall out around 30% think allot of the first wave were early adopters and enthusiasts. Converting the general public is a little slower especially for those living in apartments and low income earners who rather keep their existing car for many more years. Also older people who don't want to change their habits.

Going from 0 to 20% is fast. But it'll stall around 25-30% think allot of the first wave are early adopters. General public is harder to convert. Especially those living in apartments and older people who don't want to change their habits.
