Why are Republicans so upset at EVs?
Is it because Democrats like them?
Feels like they have a huge hate boner that goes beyond anything related to the technology.
Why do you hate EVs? On a economic standpoint; Electric cars are cheaper, cheaper energy costs, more convenient, cheaper to repair, and more comfortable for daily commuting / road trips.
Instead of paying $5 dollars per gallon in gasoline, you could be paying $0.09 cents per kilowatt to charge your electric car.
Say you have a Tesla Model 3 (the cheapest of out of them all) with a 82 kWh battery. From empty to full, you would’ve spent $7.38 dollars to charge the battery to full.
Compared to a Ford F-150 (Most Republicans drive it) which has a 36 gallon gas tank and diesel gas prices are currently $6.49 dollars per gallon. From empty to full, you would’ve spent $233.64.
Which is to say; why? You would save $226.26 dollars in energy costs per refuel if you stop being so closed minded over EVs instead of touting around with a in-efficient diesel pickup truck that gets 20 mpg.
