Ultracrepidarian is a new word for me, thanks.

Your hypothesis depends on whether EV zealots have any interest in ICE threads. Maybe they prefer the cachet of exclusivity, plenty of cults in America to attest to that.

"reserve is true'? tut tut.

You failed to address my main point:

 

Why those who don’t own an EV are so obsessed with telling those of us who do, how rubbish EVs are?

Remember that ICE cars spew a toxic cocktail into the air for others to breathe.
 

I charge from home solar, even if that means being flexible about when I drive the car.

Show me where I have said EV cars are rubbish, please.

 

70% of world electricity still comes from fossil fuels. In the case of Chiang Mai, Lamphun, Lampang etc., it comes from one of the dirtiest power stations on the planet, fuelled by lignite. It spews as much toxic cocktail as all ICE's, with a dash of radon to add flavor.

 

If you are charging from home solar, good for you. Most EV owners are not.

First service for my MG4 yesterday, less than an hour and free.

 

I told them I would have an MG4 X-Power when they get them. Lady sales manager says it is coming, she didn’t ask for a deposit, in my experience the staff at MG have more product knowledge about banana’s than their own cars.

You have reliable statistics of EV owners charging from renewable energy, against those getting their electricity from a fossil-fuelled power station?

Can't say the same about fossil fuel using machines.

when you say fossil fuels, you mean fossil fuels right?

Just curious
do you charge your car in daylight hours when the solar is producing electricity
or
do you charge your car at evening/night time like most EV owners do
and then use your solar to spin back your meter in the daytime?
how do you charge it if on a trip?

not many with solar here are off-grid.
most people have jobs etc and would be using their car during the day.

We have a very weak grid connection, I can't charge more than 2Kw at night, so I choose to charge it during the day at 5.3Kw

 

I commute every 2-3 weeks to Chiang <ai where my daughters go to University, we have a 7.2Kw charging point there but it's not solar.

 

I have only ever charged on one trip at any other public or private CS, obviously that is not solar either.

 

90% of my charging is from my solar system during the day here in Chiang Rai.

 

I didn't buy EV's or Solar for the greenness they may have, it's purely economic for solar and mostly pleasure for EV, I love the way they drive.

yep ... savings savings and .... savings.  No trips to petrol station, minimal to dealer for check ups, and they are fast.  Last time, done before I finished my coffee ????

 

That we don't contribute to the local air pollution is a plus, as I hate being behind ICEV spewing their vile exhaust when on the scooter.

 

That the govt & grid are at the control of fossil fuel corporations is out of my control.  What I can control, I do, and try to be as eco friendly as possible.

I have already proved that you are happy to post fact-free links bashing EVs. 
 

If you could stick to the facts instead of the FUD we could have a discussion.

EVs are starting to be sold with solar panels attached so you don’t have to use the ones attached to your house.
