I think it’s because most people who are pro electric understand their downsides, and usually the downsides are presented as dismissal (eg why buy an electric, you have to stop when you’re traveling cross country.) It’s kind of a boring topic unless there’s something new to discuss.

This is the exact opposite of my experience, on many, many car related forums.

EVs are presented as a panacea, doing everything an ICE can do, only better. It's not true. There are tradeoffs.

I think you’re lying to yourself because you’re an EV fan.

You have to consider what the pushers are saying and if there’s sufficient pushback when they’re misaligned.

Currently that doesn’t happen. Currently you face everything up to deplatforming for speaking against the narrative that EVs are the one true solution.
