@rkadius001 Or just go with a hybrid and you have the option of both. Use gas but with the assistance of battery to give you better mileage. Don't know why we need to switch to full EV when hybrid will save you the time and money of building brand new infrastructure everywhere when you can still use existing gas station infrastructure and get some of the benefits of EV technology.

@WhatThisVideo-WTv Not saying hybrid vehicles are perfect without any downsides, but I'd rather spend time and money designing and building better hybrids than going full EV. Just don't like the idea of relying only on electricity to get your car going when you can have a can of gas in your trunk for when you need it. Also forgot to mention that if everyone goes EV, is our electrical network going to have the capacity to support it? And its been mentioned before do we even have enough materials to build all these batteries for tens of millions of new EVs? Seems like we're just shifting waste from one part of the system to another. IE we reduce emissions from vehicles, but increase emissions when we have to build all these batteries and new infrastructure to charge EVs and increase electric generation capacity to provide enough electricity.

@WhatThisVideo-WTv running any vehicle requires fuel and the ice vehicle can only use fossil fuels which are definitely limited while there are numerous ways to generate the electricity. You can also put an spare battery pack which can charge the vehicle in emergency. Are there EVs that actually allow you to use a spare battery pack to recharge the main battery? Or is that a possible future technology? Also even though EVs don't have to use gas, almost all of their components still use oil products to produce anyways. So EV or regular ICE vehicle you're still using a ton of oil resources to produce that vehicle and there's no getting away from it. About the electrical network, sure we need to increase the power generation. Reactors are one way, fuel cell is another which is more convenient. Solutions are many but we are just starting There are many ways to generate electricity, but how many of those methods are viable to charge an EV? Is there an efficient, affordable way to generate your own electricity to charge your own vehicle? I mean sure you can install solar panels on your roof to generate that electricity, but that isn't exactly cheap. Also once you go away from your home you have to rely on the electrical grid to supply your car. With gas as long as you can find some you can keep going until your car breaks down. That's why I'm in favor of hybrids where you can gain some of the benefits of EVs without giving up the range and largely ease of access to gas. Perhaps if there's some much better future battery tech that can perform better, then it might make sense to go full electrical, but for now I'd rather stick with a hybrid or ICE vehicle.
