Is it that ICE cars are entrenched in society or is it that electric cars are still inferior in some pretty obvious ways?



Having thought this before I got my first EV - every fear and assumption I had turned out to be based on trying to think about my EV as an ICE. Everything I need to do in life is honestly easier with the EV.


I have driven an EV for the last 6 years. I find it to be superior to an ICE in almost every way. Range was, occasionally, a minor issue. I've recently bought a new (to me) EV with a larger battery. Range is no longer an issue. So yeah, for the vast majority of use cases, it has more to do with culture than practicality at this point.


We've built our infrastructure around ICE vehicles. Our entire built environment might have looked much different if we had optimized for a different technology.


Did we?

I swear I see more power lines obstructing my view of the sky than gas stations.
