I would absolutely love to have an EV. But they are very expensive, especially compared to the gas-powered car I already own.
If you read comments on Instagram and the like, people hate electric cars because...
...they don't do the vroom-vroom noise.
I feel like this is directed towards ICE vs EV cars. If that's the case, it's sort of frustrating.
EVs have some very real drawbacks. Even if those drawbacks are solvable problems, they are still problems right now. Pushing this narrative that EVs are universally better or that the biggest hurdle to adoption is irrational consumer sentiment will just make people feel gaslit. It'll also make people more hesitant to adopt later on, because they'll be skeptical of positive reviews that are honest.
It's true. But a v-twin motorcycle like a Ducati or Moto Guzzi ignites your balls like no electric motor can.
The one thing stopping me is seeing how they fare long term with the overwhelming amount of electronics added to the cars.
Hopefully car manufacturers goes a different direction as electronic and appliances company went. Everyone I know that are into EVs went through 2 or 3 different one in the time I've owned my ICE car (~10 years). Most because of their lease ending and wanting the absolute newest but others due to battery issues making the car a total loss due to replacement cost.
Actually, piston engines are really bad a torque. It's why they need a flywheel or a large amount of pistons.
