The myths are insane, you will see them on here all the time.

Evs are so heavy, wear through tires, good luck when you need to replace the battery. The resources to build it are bad for the environment.

It’s exhausting. It’s like those folks that complain about tax rates for the top brackets and they are making 60k.

"The resources to build it are bad for the environment."

Have you recently checked on how oil is produced?

And batteries from abundant materials are avaiable, lithium is just still cheap. But yes, exhausting.

You missed that I was listing off myths.
Indeed.

You don't need to be rich to have economic literacy.

Yea but going back to the comparison to EV discussions. That’s not how this plays out. People have no thought and just latch on to ideas people feed them. There is no depth beyond the one statement.
