Like I said, big oil pulling out all the stops with the propaganda. Meanwhile top Fortune 500 companies are installing chargers...

All car types are piling up. EV models don't top that list either.

Installing chargers doesn't mean anything other than they want to appeal to a small portion of the overall group. Sort of how Publix has Keto soft taco and burrito shells. Doesn't mean they are putting all their money on the future of a keto diet.

You talk about anti EV "propaganda" but use that to bolster your point. When 99% of the parking lot has chargers then you'd be correct. Till then, it's just a small piece and that's all.

I remember when carburetors were the way. The EFI was janky as hell. Then we got Speed Density, then we got MAFs! Then it was direct injection and tiny motors with turbos and...now you think innovation and change will stop. We've peaked. No more innovation. No more transition to more efficient and powerful transportation? Well, that's a rather bold stance.

My previous employer installed (two) chargers. They got paid to. They got upfront money to install them, wrote the rest of, and now take a cut of all the charging fees.

There was nothing altruistic about it, they got paid to.

Who said we've peaked? Who said that? I never did but since you quoted me I'll let you find my post that states that. ******* show me or delete this moronic post. EV's are NOT where they need to be in terms of range and ease/quickness of charging. On top of that the infrastructure isn't there. You need the infrastructure way before you need the total adoption of EV's as the primary driver of vehicle sales. It will be there someday but so far it's not.

These companies putting these charging stations in for their employees is proof that they have people who need charging and can't get it other than home or at work. That's not a convenience issue, that's an issue of time to charge on your drive in. Yeah, a vehicle you can't charge up on the way in because you're late and forgot to charge the prior night is a swell vehicle. "****, forgot to charge it and it doesn't have enough power to make it in. Guess I'll call off work today."

You EV humpers go way beyond the horizon when it comes to defending your belief and instead of being rational with your discussion points bring up **** that was never said and create false talking points to defend your position.

I love the "more efficient" argument and only focus on the EV vehicle vs a gas vehicle and ignore where the electricity came from. That electricity comes from somewhere. What's the process to create that power? I bet there is absolutely NO emissions issues with how it was created.

Electric motors are 90% efficient. Electricity is cheaper than gasoline.
