In most U.S. zip codes, electric vehicles are cost-competitive with their gas-powered counterparts, according to a new study. And regarding emissions benefits of EVs, individual driving patterns matter as much as regional factors like the local electricity mix.
True, but I bet most Americans can do what we did just as cheap. It’s just that NOT doing it is way cheaper in USA, because polluting is free in USA.
For us putting solar panels on the roof, and buying a decent EV, and changing the heating system to an air to water heat pump for central heating of the house, will combined be almost as expensive as it was to buy the house.
So yes investments are required, but today about 80% of Scandinavians buying a new car are buying a BEV.
That alone is a HUGE step, because even when charged from the grid, our electricity is about 80% renewable!
I’m sure they can, but I’ll refer back to the dumb culture issue. It’s not a matter of being able to do it, it’s that they won’t because engine go brr with dino juicies.
I know that’s true for about half the population, that they don’t give a shit about the environment, because fuck the liberals.
But obviously it’s not all. There are good Americans, although it seems to me they are a minority.
But yes as a society you are right, USA is way way behind most of the developed world.

It’s that stupid, you can’t reason with stupid.
