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.

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 @Sea1Am @noodlemaz @Sheril There are disabled people who "need" cars, but there are (probably) many more disabled people who can't use cars, and who instead need good public transport and good pedestrian/bicycle infrastructure.

Car societies restrict people in many more ways than they enable people.

@ahltorp @Sea1Am @noodlemaz @Sheril We therefore need a mix. Good public transport, but for the times that individual (or group, or for goods transport) vehicle is needed, we want EV versions. We also should have good bike lanes, footpaths for easy walking etc. Better organisation of residential areas so that shops etc. are not long distances away.

Our shortsightedness is causing us to settle for bad solutions. We can't cling to this lifestyle, it's destroying us.

The sea rise is accelerating beyond all the models predictions. The longer we wait, the more drastic our solutions have to be, and we have already kicked this can down the road for too long.
