Oh, sorry I didn’t take any societal class structure from that.
Is a a Nissan Leaf in that ‘rich dude’ category?
And what box do we slide those that pick the eyes out of every reason that an EV is bad, that an owner is an environmental woke, that only a rich person can afford one?
What is the classification of ‘rich’ these days? Earnings of $250,000 per year, $500,000, $1 million?
I own an EV, I would not class myself as rich, I don’t earn any of the above.
I guess in the context of E.V's, rich would probably be someone who can afford to buy an E.V of a certain vehicle, when it cost nearly twice as much as the equivalent model in ICE configuration.Oh, sorry I didn’t take any societal class structure from that.

Yes. And I didn't even have to go outback to do it.Is it true that there are so few charging points around that if I drove an EV I could get stranded somewhere outback and have to get someone to bring out a portable petrol or diesel generator to get my car running again ?

Or listening to the missus, eh @mullokintyre . ?I’ve never heard of someone being in that predicament, but it is possible. Just like the people rescued by roadside assistance with a jerrycan of fuel. Poor planning is the something some drivers get themselves into trouble with.
Yes. And I didn't even have to go outback to do it.

It must be humbling to be so good at everything.My father & grandfather taught me to always err on the side of caution. In about 37 years of driving across our country & on another continent, I have never run out of fuel. Though, my wife has, before we were married.
We were camping, had enough fuel to make it to the next town. She & her sister took off for supplies & forgot to get fuel, half way back to camp they ran out. Lucky I had my bike & a jerrycan.
I always used to tell the wife, happiness is a full tank, she always said I was just a worrier.We were camping, had enough fuel to make it to the next town. She & her sister took off for supplies & forgot to get fuel, half way back to camp they ran out. Lucky I had my bike & a jerrycan.

Hmm, Saint John De Baptist perhaps?

I’m really not that good at everything, but I do believe in following gut feelings. Has saved me a few times from some very dangerous situations, when I was younger. Taught my kids the same thing, if it feels odd or weird that’s your sixth sense telling you something.
I guess the difference is that if you are worried of running out of fuel in an ICE car you can take a few jerry cans with you, with an EV you can't as far as I know carry spare batteries.
No you can’t, but you can plan ahead.
Yes , but the best laid plans .....
What if the only charging point in town is out of service and there is no where else in range ?
I don’t think it is aimed at less fortunate people, I think it’s aimed at the smug petrol car owners that are always posting on FB etc trying to down talk EV’s.Yes, but it just comes across as another smug rich dude, putting it up the less fortunate, who can't afford to indulge themselves with buying an E.V.
It's one of those taboo woke things, the rich woke are not supposed to be condescending, they are meant to speak and act in a humble and concerned manner, while flaunting their wealth.
That's how they rope in, um sorry, I mean gain the support and approval of the unwashed masses. ?
I thought of it like an alternate universe where everyone drives electric cars and then petrol cars are invented. Very enjoyable.I don’t think it is aimed at less fortunate people, I think it’s aimed at the smug petrol car owners that are always posting on FB etc trying to down talk EV’s.
That is an interesting thought experiment, imagine if the world was already set up with chargers everywhere for Ev’s.I thought of it like an alternate universe where everyone drives electric cars and then petrol cars are invented. Very enjoyable.
I agree and I do have an EV, but it isn't the way it comes over to 'normal' people.I don’t think it is aimed at less fortunate people, I think it’s aimed at the smug petrol car owners that are always posting on FB etc trying to down talk EV’s.
