What's the big deal about someone who likes alternative energy? Why do people care about EV's so much when they have ZERO effect on them? Most people have not even tried them before criticizing them and banishing them the deepest depths of hello.
My GT500 would only get about 170 miles of range on a full tank. I never, in over 20k miles, drove it from full to empty on any day.
I best most people cant recall a day they pulled out of their garage with a full tank and had to fill it up before returning.
EV drivers are car people too. Try one before being so critical.
I have solar. Lots of it. That mainly charges my car.
I have solar that entirely charges a fleet of Ford lightning trucks.
I pay nearly 50% of my income in taxes.
I employ several people with well paying jobs.
I should get tax subsidies, I give the government 100's Of thousands of dollars all for them to let me pay them a small amount less later because I did what they said.
Trust me. It's not a good deal.
In the meantime buy a hybrid. So many positives. Very few negatives.

Which isn't real life driving on any street tire regardless of vehicle it's on. Not by a factor of 20-40x.
This is factually nonsensical.
My previous gas car was a Lexus IS350. Curb weight is 3748 lbs.
My current EV, a Tesla Model 3, which is comparable in size, class, seating, etc... has a curb weight of 3862.
That's barely 100 lbs difference on a near 4000 lbs vehicle.
That is not significant in terms of tire wear differences.
Indeed- I got about 25k miles out of the OEM tires on both (and BOTH had Michelin MXM4 OEM tires too....so apples to apples).
I've since replaced them with Pilot Sport A/S4s and based on tread readings so far expect to get ~50k miles out of those.... Same as on a comparable gas car.
Indeed if you look at the source study in the link I provided debunking your nonsense they also cite to a taxi company that uses ICE and EVs-- which also confirms in comparable-class vehicles the difference in tire wear is not significant.
So again- the gas car ends up far worse for emissions over its lifetime overall than the EV does and the tire thing is a nonsense red herring.
More hilarious- the "particular matter" fearmongering ALSO brings up brake pads... a thing gas cars burn through far more often because EVs mostly rely on regenerative braking, not physical braking.
The difference THERE is much greater than it is in any tire wear difference.
Again I had Michelin MXM4s on BOTH my ICE Lexus and my Tesla EV.
There's no magic "wears out multiple times faster" EV tire compound for which you've given any evidence of any kind other than TRUST ME BRO.
You realize when you add batteries and a small electric motor you remove a big engine block and transmission right?
Certainly you CAN find outlier stupid heavy EVs-- the GM Hummer is a great example.... but those represent like 0.01% of all EV sales ever.
You look at the total lifecycle of the vehicle cradle to grave.
And you find EVs are much much cleaner than ICE vehicles when you do so- as cited in a ton of studies.
Dead ICE cars just go 100% into a junk yard and rot.
EV batteries will be recycled almost entirely due to the valuable, reusable, materials in them.
https://www.tesla.com/support/sus...-recycling
Unlike fossil fuels, which release harmful emissions into the atmosphere that are not recovered for reuse, materials in a Tesla lithium-ion battery are recoverable and recyclable...
...None of our scrapped lithium-ion batteries go to landfilling, and 100% are recycled.
What are you talking about, please link to a petroleum slave operation.

I don't suggest that's industry-wide-- but then neither is slavery to make EVs.
I mean, ONE of us is lying- but it ain't me.
Tesla began using LFPs in China (by far their largest output factory) in 2020. They began using them in the US in late 2021. They're used in all standard range 3/Y, which are the majority of all sales (being the least expensive models that's not surprising).
Tesla last month produced their 6 millionth car total
It's 1 millionth was March 2020.
Meaning 5 out of every 6 Teslas ever made were made in the last 5 years.
And the majority of THOSE used LFP cells.
Tesla had mentioned nearly half of cars produced were already LFP by Q1 2022, and that % has only gone UP in the last 2 years.
Math dude- try it sometime!
because this is based on Toyota "technology" which is 10 years behind the leaders in the EV space
I've also driven pretty much every tesla, with doing long 10+ hour drives in X to draw from personal experience.
Why are you using a Corolla for a stand-in for an SUV that can seat 7 adults?
Use a Suburban, or a mini-van, and I suspect you math changes a lot in favor of the EV.
(plus most folks are home charging a TON cheaper than the 45c figure you cite--- average in the US for home electricity is ~17 cents per kwh normally... and often lower with ToU plans)
Also note well engineered EVs require almost 0 routine maintenance compared to gas cars... no spark plugs or wires to change, no oil, coolant, or transmission fluid to change, etc...
Pretty much the only scheduled stuff is change the cabin air filter every 2-3 years depending on type, test (and replace if needed) brake fluid every 4 years, and replace A/C dessicant bag every 3-8 years depending on model.
Anything else is just as-needed for any-type-of-car wear items- tire rotation/change, wiper blade change, etc. You won't even need to change brake pads/rotors as they rarely use the friction brakes- there's folks routinely getting 150-200k on the original brakes which is longer than most own a car.
NOTE: Check the specific EV you're looking at-- some are worse on this stuff- some still force fluid changes to try and keep their dealers in business

I guess that would be you since it is available now?
Also without buying from companies that have a lot to lose with the reduction of Gas powered cars it will be much slower. The biggest issue with EVs is the people that drive the least lik people that live in a city or rent have no place to charge.
