What's so compelling about an EV if you're generating as much atmospheric carbon by charging the vehicle as you are by using a modern ICE?
The cost to operate an EV is 75% less, and scheduled maintenance is only changing the brake fluid every 24 months. Who cares about saving the planet when you can save all that green?????
