I am questioning his claims as not telling the full story, and asserting that he would still need to queue at charging stations to drive reasonable distances

 

could you please provide evidence that electric cars have to wait in line to charge their vehicles?

it shouldn't be too challenging for you. thank you!

EV buyers are brain washed sheep..

ICE buyers have cool and smart transport...

Nothing I've read here makes me think you're wrong, that's for sure - all we see are people with furrowed brows counting every Watt-hour, just so that they can feel virtuous and superior. My 2.5-litre turbo might belch out a bit of CO2, but it only takes a few minutes to refuel and is so worry-free to drive anywhere.

And here's a hint for you my friend. Charging infrastructure, and the power generation/distribution expansion necessary to support EV uptake en masse, lags far behind EV sales. Hence the queues get worse as more and more people are conned into buying more of them. In countries where EVs are still very rare, there are already hours long waits and fights at charging stations. What makes you think Thailand, with its creaky power infrastructure, will be any different?

 

Exceptions might include people with solar panels who drive a few km at night (aircon off) while their cars trickle charge all day.

 

EVs are a con, plain and simple. A new industry that's making a few people extremely rich, coupled to a powerful marketing and public relations machine. Proof that fools and their money are easily parted. What is it with greenies refusal to acknowledge physical laws?

"ICE buyers have cool and smart transport..."

 

Wow! So you're not aware that ICE vehicles generate a lot of heat? 🤣

Operating the aircon on my E.V. only subtracts 10km from the estimated total km in the battery.

This was a very pleasant unexpected discovery.
