This map shows the cost of charging an EV at home across the U.S. Home-charging is significantly cheaper in all 50 states than fueling a car with gasoline.

@Sheril

How much does it cost to use an electric train?

Where is the infrastructure for mass transit?

Why are personal vehicles still hailed as a viable answer to climate change's problems?

The sea is rising ever faster.

Elon's cars aren't helping anyone but Elon, and he's digging underground to hide from the rising tide.

@Sea1Am @Sheril other companies make EVs, not just Tesla.

@noodlemaz @Sheril

More trash for the heap. What is your point?

@Sea1Am @noodlemaz @Sheril What's yours? You're in favour of restricting disabled people to their homes? And you know that public transport can be EVs too? Trains, buses, etc. There are reasons for transport which aren't just individual people as well.
Why do you think it's an either/or? And I wouldn't touch a Tesla with a ten foot pole either but he's hardly the only option these days.

@ariaflame @noodlemaz @Sheril

In my ideal world disabled people wouldn't need cars at all. Ever heard of a 15 minute city?

In fact, I would rather people just left cities entirely and lived in small communities taking care of each other like we did before we were all enslaved by people like Elon Musk.

I'm sick of people pretending they're saving the world by buying an electric car, it's a lie.

Stop fooling yourselves. It's pathetic.

@Sea1Am @noodlemaz @Sheril You were the one implying people thought that. I certainly don't. But it's not a trivial exercise to shift everyone to your perfect community.
In some ways the people who want perfection before they want any change are almost worse than those who don't want any change at all.
But since I want to enjoy the rest of my evening I'll leave it there.
Tomorrow will be soon enough to return to teaching people about energy efficiency, renewable energy etc.
