I love electric vehicles – and was early adopter. But increasingly I feel duped

<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;archive.is&#x2F;dwcoV" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;archive.is&#x2F;dwcoV</a><p>Hydrogen fuel cell, coupled potentially with ammonia transportation, and airlines using hydrogen engines, might make it economically as a way to export solar.<p>Though don&#x27;t discount finding alternative metals to lithium for batteries.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nature.com&#x2F;articles&#x2F;s41467-022-28238-3" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nature.com&#x2F;articles&#x2F;s41467-022-28238-3</a>

He&#x27;s definitely been duped, but not by electric vehicles.<p>&gt; I used to be with ‘it&#x2F;cars’, but then they changed what ‘it&#x2F;cars’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it&#x2F;cars’ anymore and what’s ‘it&#x2F;cars’ seems weird and scary. It’ll happen to you! -- Grandpa Simpson<p>You should keep old ICE cars if you don&#x27;t drive very much, or sell them to someone who is in a similar situation.<p>If you actually drive an average amount you should definitely get an EV for the (local and global) environment. Plus lower TCO, and less maintenance, and less fossil fuel imports, better handling, etc.

I was hoping for more, but sadly it&#x27;s just another hydrogen puff piece.<p>Also in the middle he weirdly conflates length of first ownership with total vehicle lifespan. He compares it to &quot;fast fashion,&quot; acting as if the cars were being thrown in the trash instead of resold and used for another 10+ years.<p>I guess there&#x27;s a reason we don&#x27;t look to actors for our transport and environmental policy.
