So… you did turn into one of those zealots?

The people making comments about it are weird. There are a couple of them in the parking lot of our building. I know one of the guys who drives one of them and I’ve never heard anyone give him a hard time except for the time he backed it into his wife’s SUV

You forgot range anxiety and the ability for car companies/govt to shut off

And is there a high correlation with this attitude and lack of basic etiquette?

ryebrye

I think the flip side is also true, where some people think driving an electric car makes you a righteous hero

I think that has become less and less the case but obviously there are going to be weirdos like that out there

Those people are weird . . . But I haven't met them

Zoobieman

Yep. Both extremes are pretty weird

Maybe the reason you haven't met them is...

I think i has more to do with the number of jacked up truck owners my car seems to offend.

Kind of... I like to troll people who don't know what they are talking about.

#3, I am not a big fan of the decade long EV subsidies.

Zoobieman

Yup, and wealthy people buying expensive cars get these breaks too.

Maybe they were oil people. All working for oil companies or their subsidiaries...even gas stations. I wonder how many

DJROSS

Oil people aren’t anti electric

SouthernBlueBlood

Oil person here. I drive a Tesla

More likely that they're conservative talk radio people.

Going electric just means the NGL/natural gas side of the bussiness will pick up

Don't let their weirdness deter you from doing kind things in the future.
