@ElMistroFeroz your argument sounds like you never had to live in an apartment or considered using cars other than commuting to and from work. What do you do when you have to make unexpected emergency travels out of town? Without convenient fast charging infrastructure EVs simply are useless in such situations compared to gas cars

Sure Corolla is a heap of junk that has 30% higher resale value than Tesla model 3 of equal age and mileage.

Li mega is a disaster. It looks like a coffin and it's going viral in China that it looks like coffin. None is buying

@b4804514 running the cords that will trip pedastrians and electricute them if short circuited.

@ouethojlkjn Negative, it takes even longer to register and rent a car. Uber may be faster, but still can take 10+ minutes for drivers to arrive. Whereas having your own reliable vehicle can handle emergencies much more speedily. Especially if it is medical in nature.

@ouethojlkjn you are making so many excuses. Of course any car can break down and have accidents, flat tires etc. but, with everything else being equal, in an emergency, ice cars can refuel faster and more conveniently than EVs period. As for calling ambulance I'm not going to argue with you case by case but it doesn't have to be your own emergency, it could be your relatives or friend in the next town you want to rush over to see them on hospital bed before passing for example. Whatever I'm not going to go over million different hypothetical examples you get my point. With all bring equal you have to go farther in a pinch when EV just happens to be low in battery it's going to take much longer to refuel.

@seenghuatting4566 you are not getting it. It doesn't matter exactly what type of emergency it can happen that you have to go out of town in a pinch. I'll just give you one example your parents are dying and they are 100 km away, your EV has only 50km left. The nearest fast charger is 10 minutes away in the opposite direction . You are screwed. It could be personal emergency, business opportunities. it doesn't matter. EVs are just not as flexible as gas cars as in most cases there are gas stations along the way and you don't have to figure out how to use app to activate or worry about non working or occupied chargers.

@seenghuatting4566 no you are not getting it at all. Say it's your father already in hospital you just want to be there as quickly as possible before he passes away. To see him for the last time. Maybe it's not that far only 100 km away. But your EV just happens to be near empty as you just came home from work with only 30 km range left. I know it's very unlikely but it could happen. There are other scenarios too you just ignore them and think it can't happen to you. For example in a road trip your planned charger route closed because of a mudslide or accident. You don't have enough range to that detour to get to another charger.

@seenghuatting4566 like I said this is just one scenario. There are other emergencies you can't plan for. When it occurs and coincides with when your EV charge is near empty you are screwed. The only way to avoid is to always have enough battery charge and that's kind of inconvenient and not being able to use full capacity of battery

@seenghuatting4566 a friend of mine is a realtor he has a Tesla model x he uses to drive around his clients but he also has a second car for when the model x needs charging. So that he doesn't lose business deals because car unavailable. It goes to show that EVs have many advantages such as fuel savings and environmentally friendly and better driving dynamic. I agree with all of that. But one thing it's lacking is fast charging infrastructure. Home charging is only convenient when you have fixed commute schedule and predictable routine. When it comes to handling emergencies and unpredictable use cases, it's not as flexible or robust as ice cars. Another instance just popped in my head is if you have to travel to remote areas for ice cars you can carry fuel with you but you can't tow a generator and fuel as easily.

@berndborte8214 I dunno what county you live in but the number of gas stations vs fast chargers are much higher here in North America and not even say the reliability and ease of use. Let's be real the scenario you made up is much less likely than my scenario which is actually realistic. What are the chances all gas stations run out of gas on regular basis? But you might need to charge your EV at least a couple times a week that's at least 2 instances when your EV have very low charge. If any emergencies happen to occur just at that moment it's quite possible your reach to the emergency destination is delayed. Much less likely all gas stations run out of gas at that moment. Nearly impossible.

@ouethojlkjn oh no I never said EV is inferior then ice I said in number of occasions EVs have many advantages including cost and environment. But flexibility and robustness are not. At least with the current charging infrastructure. Charging at home is convenient if you have a fixed and predictable commute schedule. But but if you have emergency or travelling long distances. It's still not as robust or convenient as ice cars. No one size fits all. That's all I'm saying. EVs should work for 90% of people 99% of time. But ice cars will still have a niche market and legit use cases 10 years from now or even 20
