Overnight isn’t “right away”. “I have to get to y right away!” “Sure! I’ll just charge the car and you can leave tomorrow!”.
Listen, I’m not saying that EVs are shit but they are currently not my cup of tea. It’s just all this BS. Of course it’s faster to refuel a car with petrol than to charge a battery. Would you also deny that it’s faster for me to fill up a glass of water than you charging your phone? I ENVY the great fuel economy that EV owners get. This sucks for petrol cars.
I don’t know what to do with you people… We both have 5km range left. You plug in the cable juice and I plug in the gas to refuel. Who leaves the station first?
In speed and torque, yes, but not in sound and tactile feeling.
Welcome to downvote city, where every comment that brings forth negative aspects of EVs are downvoted!
I agree btw.
Pros and cons as with everything in this world. Great to hear that you had a good time in the model Y. Thanks for letting me know that I’m not all alone with these not-lemmy-approved comments
Nope. Hoped Lemmy would be better but it’s just like reddit: disagree -> downvote…apparently. I thought up/down voting was supposed to help filter out bad contributions, not silence people with opinions that are different from your own.
We agree. True but ‘better’ in what ways? EVs are, as you know, extremely heavy. Is this better or worse? If you don’t have a car that you like to drive for the sake of driving, then it might not matter. If you are like me and like to fun on small roads then you might hate heavy cars because of the handling. Most EV lovers don’t understand such things because they have a car for the purpose of transportation, not for the purpose of “the drive”. Maybe bad generalization but I have yet to meet a person who have had as much fun in an EV as in a more traditional sport oriented car… Except for the ionic 5 n, but I think there’s a novelty factor involved here.
If I only needed my car for transportation, the I would buy an EV, but only because of the reduced fuel costs.
Fair enough. Do you do track days yourself? I would love to learn more about what I can from listening to my tires.
Still, no engine noise.
I’m not a EV hater, just saying that there are more to cars than 0-100km/h stats and range. And to me, most of these aesthetic qualities are lost with EVs. The only EV that looks interesting from a aesthetics point of view is the inonic 5 n, imho.
Cool but they sound like shit. No aesthetics in evs. You don’t feel connected to the car. Don’t feel the engagement. But hey, cars are all about stats, right, right??
Why on earth do you get down votes? This is the truth. Downvoters just straw man argue pointing out that ‘just charge your car at home’, which isn’t the matter of discussion. There isn’t even a discussion to be had - it is faster to refuel a car than recharge. Might this matter to you? Maybe, maybe not.
*If you have a homecharger
It is faster to refuel your car with petrol.
You won’t get long with that final statement. Consider that such statement fuels the flame of people who are against trans, drag etc etc. You can clearly that the original commenter is willing to engage in discussion.
