Right? I wish more people would consider the product life cycle analysis of what they want to purchase. Virtue signaling doesn't help, and nor does more scrap ending up in a landfill at the end of the cradle to grave trip.

I'd love an E bike! It would be great to take the train into the city for me and use it to get around. I haven't been able to afford insurance and still don't have a driver's license. It'd save me a killing and allow me to actually save my money than have it guzzled up by gas, car maintenance, and overall way less hassle for me. I'd rather not have to worry about features eventually getting pay walled by the shitfotainment system...

and mopeds, electric mopeds are fucking sweet.

In the 2nd panel, her hand has 5 knuckles

Look at the top right image. She has like 7 fingers

I thought it was too smooth and the rearview mirror on the third image proved it. What are you doing there??? 😂

Mine weighs 1.5 tons and is going strongly into it's sixth year of existence at about 95% capacity left. 3/4 of the year I'm driving it exclusively using power from my own roof. It uses about 14kWh/100km which is the equivalent of about 1.3 Liters of Gasoline. I fail to see how all of this is not an advantage.

5 years??? You change cars every 5 years?

Me love traaaiins!

Got any stats for that or is it just the usual anti-EV BS where you equate EVs to cellphones? No? Of course you don’t and are just making shit up.

1 word: Batteries

Yeah it's weird that they generated this, it distracted me from the meme itself

90+% of the AI generated content is just straight garbage.

I don't get why people are so obsessed with it to be honest.

Worth noting that the recent Infrastructure bill passed under Biden includes $108 billion for public transportation (Link). This is much larger than the $7.5B set aside for electric vehicles.

As much as I despise our car-centric infrastructure, climate change is a large enough threat that we should seriously consider and pursue multiple avenues of decreasing our emissions as fast as possible. Fully transitioning away from auto-dominant transportation in the US is, frankly, not realistic in a timely manner with the public support and resources available. Not only will transportation infrastructure need changing, but even the design of our cities. So while we should pursue broader public transportation, we should also pursue other initiatives with high likelihood of broad acceptance and rapid implementation. Electric vehicles seems to be one such initiative.

REI is leading an initiative to give tax incentives for electric bikes. Seems like they are the main voice behind it though and I don't dare to hope.

three good ones

That, and also why it looks (and possibly is) generated by an AI?
