    Nope,it’s a problem in many other scenarios

    If i ride to vacation to a country with no charging infrastucture, if I want to ride to the mountains where it is subzero and my range drops dramatically, if I go to a place where it’s 38 deree celsius and I need AC my range is pretty much fucked up… (not to mention that close to remote places like cool beaches there is no charging station)

    If I want to have a road trip… i suddenly becomes a planning issue

    There are still so many things that are complicated by having a EV, and I don’t need the extra complications

    That’s wishful thinking, in world history there’s always been who is on top, and in general the conditions of people are far better than in the past, thanks to (or despite of) capitalism

    Wealth redistribution is sign of a mature society as well as punishing who abuses societal rules for private gains

    Some societies are, in many ways, more mature than others, and western society aren’t much better that eastern ones, despite what we like to think, they just value different things, including status symbols, and being better off than the average, when this is left unchecked… It causes problems, to the point where it is not possible any more to control it

    And here we are
