Hazardous waste just filling up landfills and getting into drinking water.

Is that weight with the battery charged, or uncharged?

charged.. its so light when the battery is down to 30% its basicly unsafe.

But on a more serious note, most EV drivers around here like to test their 0-60 at each red light. I'm sure that is

That 10 years thing is conjecture right? Do we have any real world evidence of

I can believe it on the early EVs. Old Nissan Leafs are not worth the cost of a replacement battery pack.

My 2016 Nissan Leaf is still going strong. Battery has degraded some, sure.

I agree on cars. The arguments I saw were specific to long-haul semi trucks. No idea whether they are valid or not.

Why call out the whole post and only address one of the items listed?

All or nothing reasoning isn’t reasonable (on either side of this issue)

Precisely why we need a universal weight tax. Unfortunately neither side seems

Fine but we need to recognize the total environmental impact of EVs includes

I agree, and that also applies to the size and weight of most trucks.

Now find a study from the US... because a Toyota Sienna Curb Weight = 4,610 lb.. Model Y Curb Weight = 4,398 lb
