Sorry for my rant, but I really do not get it how so many people do not understand why electric cars are not sold that much...
Environment friendly?
The electricity comes out of the wall... like the water... this is where I think the thinking stops for buyers of electric cars... They do not think about the fact that the energy they are putting into their cars perhaps is nuclear and leaves radioactive waste behind... many would say now, yeah, there are thousands of metric tons of nuclear waste each year, but what about CO2, nuclear power plants do not emit this harmful CO2.
Ok, nuclear power plants do not emit CO2, but they are not CO2 neutral, the contamination starts when the uranium is being mined with huge trucks and enriched.
There are also many voices who say that CO2 does not do anything regarding the so called climate change... But people do not worry about nuclear waste as much as about climate change... really brainwashed...
In Germany the biggest consumer of nuclear energy was (and is) the Deutsche Bahn with its trains... So all the ecological people who chose to use the train contributed each year 20% of the 500 tons of nuclear waste which Germany produces each year...
Imagine: You ride 50 km each day with a train and leave behind 100 metric tons of nuclear waste, deadly for a MILLION years...
I cannot imagine every 3 years changing in Europe alone 40.000.000 batteries which weigh 200kg or whatever each, with highly toxic Lithium...
User-friendly?
Yeah sure... if you want to stop every 300km and wait 5 hours until the car is been charged... It has a nice acceleration though... and does not emit contamination when not running, like in a traffic jam.
But hopefully you do not crash with that thing... they usually explode or burn down quite quickly...
Tesla only survives because of its subsidies
Why are politicians so keen to introduce that shit? Do they want higher electricity consumption or I really do not understand it... I mean surely, if you use only electricity to move, I guess a country like Germany would need another dozen nuclear plants...
