EV are they worth it?

[Avocet]

I do. Do you know the lithium in EV is 2 million times (guesstimate) more than what is in the button battery?

There's 20 million times more water in the Atlantic than in Windermere, but I stand an exactly equal chance of drowning in either...

 

[Avocet]

Your risk is 2m x mine. That makes me less concerned.

That's a bit of a joke! You're the one always crying about the risk on here. Nobody else is...

 

[Avocet]

Because the climate has done, what it has always done - it has changed.

Yeah... rather faster than before, which has got an awful lot of scientists worried, but I'm sure they'd all be relieved to hear your explanation of why they needn't...

Wow.

Flood is burning house down. I now understand why Avocet is banging on about it.

I think EVs are great for certain situations. I saw a cool little Citroen thing that would be ideal for buzzing around town. I may, at some point in the future, actually buy a small EV, but I certainly won't be guilted into buying one by a government who supply missiles to fuel a potential 'forever' war. Imagine the pollution created by each sickening explosion!

What is this? I like it!

 

[Ollyfp]

Maybe some kind of motorised skateboard? Lol

 

[DiyNutJob]

Cute cars, sports cars are all great if you have the space for them. If resources are limited then you really want a single car that does it all. Cute cars lack practicality. For a run around type of thing, a 3 wheeler scooter appeals to me.

It's the Citroen Ami. 27mph and 46 mile range. Hmmm...

Just as well there no money being made from oil, eh?

Got to hand it to you, that's one of the more original excuses I've heard in a good while! However, those explosions are going to go on with or without the transition to EVs. The choice is pollution from ICEs AND missiles, or pollution from a smaller number of ICEs, some EV, and missiles...

Yep, we can all just stick our heads in the sand and all will be fine
