Reddit-Bot: “You can get a large one topping pizza from Dominoes™ for just nineteen ninety eight when the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell, and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcer’s table.”
Seeing how some very particular relatives are, I wonder if much of the gas leaf blower crowd is less “watch me stick it to the libs” and more “look at me, I’m cleaning my yard, that makes me better than you”
I’m going to be honest, I got about half way through, I just wanted to add something some folks may not consider in this discussion.
Since I first got an EV almost a decade ago, I have spent less of my life waiting for it to charge than I had previously spent getting gas.
I’ll note that everyone’s situation is unique, and I’ve had the fortune/privilege of having private parking next to a 120v outlet at both of my previous rentals as well as my current home, but the 2s it takes for me to plug in every night, and the very rare 30 min charging session mixed into a 6hr road trip (when I’d be stopping for food/restroom anyways) means less time standing around at the charger than I would have spent at the pump.
I recognize this is a hard concept to sell to some ICE drivers, because all they hear is 30-minute charging session, but it’s real. Admittedly this is contingent on you having access to an outlet at home or work, which I recognize doesn’t apply to a subset of renters.
Don’t forget support. For what the Steam Deck is, I’ll take runs well over runs fast any day. It’s not like these competitors are letting you crank the settings to Ultra at 120 FPS.
