Exactly
too many world views to make an acceptable comparison between EVs and gassers.
Theoretically EVs have a big leg up on efficiency & emissions
but they still lose badly in the real world
Long live Aptera - but EZ-GO is the only viable EV maker I know
and even there the gassers are squeezing the EV golf carts out!
we are missing something in the life cycle that cripples the EV cost/benefit equation
I was hoping to learn a bit of that in this thread
- but I learned a lot of other good stuff instead
