Switching to an EV is not "free". You have to do some research, learn some new things and gain a bit of experience. Some people (for example the elderly but also stupid people) will have real issues adapting to new infrastructure. Even more people are simply to lazy to bother, will always see the effort required to switch to an EV as completely unnecessary and will complain loudly when forced to do it. The best option would be probably to wait for "EV first" generations of drivers to simply replace the current ones but we don't have time for it. Other option would be to make the switch completely painless (imagine having a charging plug right next to the gasoline dispenser on every gas station, simply choose from diesel, gas or electric) but we're currently very very far away from this dream. So yeah, the only option is to force people slowly to make the effort and at the same time work on making it easy enough so they don't revolt.

Even with the absolutely best infrastructure (which few places in the world have because it's really hard to build and maintain) public transport will still mean lower comfort for vast majority of people that use cars now. People in cities with frequent connections and many, well places stops already use public transport. Everyone else will prefer a car as long as they can afford it. People will not choose public transport if it's a bit less comfortable for the good of the planet.

What I mean is that there's nothing more we can do to sell an EV to a family like this. Sure, lots of people already own EVs but many will not buy and EV even if they are in the perfect situation to get one. This people will only get an EV when ICE cars are gone.

2 years from the original release to multiple ports, commercial applications, licencing to external groups and people actually asking to use it.

I took wayland a decade to become usable. It tells me all I need to know about it simplicity and usefulness.

So they are as attracted to them as to other toys and are happy to stay on the lock screen? I would say that's a win. Most kids will watch YT and play games constantly. I don't think lock screen counts as a screen time.

A minute of silence for all the people killed by asshole chihuahuas...

Tell me. Tell me now!

I've stopped using their recommendations (except in my car) for other reason: I no longer knew the albums. It used to be you would get new album from X, you would listen to it couple of times, learn the song titles and think "this new album is awesome/shit/better then the last one". With Spotify it was just constant stream of songs from the sam e artist without any idea of their artistic progression. I missed that part so now I just listen to whole albums and custom playlists.

I've just tried registering in their app and got and error. After finally entering (without any confirmation that my account was creates) the charger next to me does not appear in the app. It's a big charging station for multiple cars and the app says it does not exist. Overall experience: 3/10.

There's a Zunder charger next to it but their entire infra just collapse. The app is down, the page is down and the charger that admits card payments is unresponsive. Everyone run buy an EV...

EU just passed a law to make chargers accepting credit card mandatory every 50km on main highways. It comes into effect in 2025. It's a move in good direction but they really have to focus on availability as well. It's crazy how long a charger can be out of service without anyone doing anything about it. It's clearly an afterthought for all the companies involved.

Why not just take all the homeless from Chicago and send them to warm Florida?

I'm saying that Karen will not even consider EV because insert default excuse. People that do consider EVs will investigate the state of the infrastructure a bit and decide to wait. Play store and other pages are full of reviews. Also, anyone riding with me can see it's state. You don't have to own an EV to be aware of the issues.

Yes but we all know what the issues with Tesla are.

As a EV owner I don't worry about range that much but I'm constantly infuriated by the shitty charging experience. Charging at home is great but road trips are a constant pain in the ass. Let's face it, most people are not interested in switching to EV at all and will find an excuse until ICE cars are banned (I'm looking at you people with two family cars and private garage). You want to convince the people actually thinking about it? Make charging work.

My opinion is that kids only want to use phones because they see parents use them all the time. If parents would use phones only for calling, kids would not find them interesting. Of course giving up phones is super difficult, beyond what parents are willing to do. And of course I'm talking about small children, not adolescents.

Explain how choosing genocide supports human rights. I you mean that by supporting Israel you're making sure you have a good place to store weapons and can murder people in the region say that. Talking about human rights beacons makes you sound silly.

If democracy commits genocide what's the benefit of it being a democracy? Please explain. Is it better for a journalist living in the middle east to be murderer by democratic government than autocratic one? Is he less dead?

Because Israel is? Hahaha

How is democratic genocidal government better than autocratic genocidal government? Wasn't Hitler democratically elected?

Chance for human rights my ass.
