Man I wonder how conservatives will justify still driving fossil fuel cars now, because we all know they will. They keep using "Dangerous and terrible lithium mining" as their first and foremost excuse, if we get cheaper and easier to make batteries I wonder what the next scapegoat will be.

I know, lithium mining is terrible, but we all know that they don't actually care about it being terrible. They're just regurgitating what Fox has told them

I've already had these conversations online..

  1. At the moment, they've already shifted to claiming EV cars are worse for the environment..
  2. Yanking on about Towing capacity. They still haven't worked out that literally so few cars on the road (at least here in Australia), even have a towbar. Even less use it (even during long holidays)..
  3. Range. These guys haven't worked out yet, that they aren't going to be driving 16 hrs a day.. And, for those applications, if unavoidable, worst case scenario is then Fuel cells.

Range can be quickly resolved by hot-swapping batteries. A company in China, Nio, is already doing it
