I guess you’ll be saying “tough titties” when places like Wyoming and rest of the rural parts of the country decide to stop supporting places like LA and NYC who clearly don’t give a shit about anyone else...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!

So, you’re pulling out an atlas and charting your own route? Nah, man - you’re punching in a destination and the car is telling you what route to take.

Absolutely no mention of our continually increase amount of distractions, our waning regard for personal responsibility (especially when driving,) and our over-reliance upon “nannies” of all kinds?

Way-to-go, Jalopnik...

Nice handle. ;)

Haha, okay, pal. You can keep calling me names and saying I’m lying, but you’re not actually presenting any new info to back up what you’re saying.

So, the car routes you along a special route that has chargers? And you don’t see this as “planning your route to follow chargers?” Are you really that naive?

Sure, if you want an optimized design, you would separate them. BUT, this would result in higher costs all around. Having as many common parts as possible would lead to lower costs and therefore greater attainability and adoption.

Wyoming was simply a single example - please learn how to extrapolate data sets.

- EVs are NOT cheaper to maintain unless you already have all of your scheduled ICE-specific maintenance performed at a dealer. If you change your own oil or have it done at a quick-lube type location, for instance, your maintenance costs for a modern ICE are very low. Aside from fluids (and perhaps brakes), there is…

Population does not mean squat in this case. There is a SIGNIFICANT portion of the population that lives in populated ares that don’t drive at all. You can’t look at the population of people and determine much of anything about vehicle usage. You have to look at the population of VEHICLES.

Look at these data sets: https…

No, they are not (superior to ICEs in every way).

This is the right take. IF EV’s actually take off (and that’s a big “IF” IMO), they’re going to do so as a powertrain option in an existing vehicle that’s also available with other standard (ICE) drivetrains.

Yes, but FoMoCo and FCA added UAW jobs evidently. This is Jalopnik - writing isn’t their strong suit...

The “I”s are in direct response to your character accusations, nothing more. You made some specific and very faulty assumptions. I countered them. You’re now trying to shift the focus away from the actual answers. Had you not made it personal, you would not have seen them listed like that. They are not really…

Bullshit.

You know why. You may not want to admit it, but you know it to be true.

Yes, they always do.

Drivers have the ability NOT to the share rides that don’t pay enough.

They may not “take” them (because they may not know it’s a crappy job until later on), but they sure as hell keep them because they want to.
