EV forums are less bad. You still get some people thinking that driving up a hill or pass, and descending back down, will consume more energy than flat travel, or that slowly accelerating will be more efficient than more rapidly accelerating. They might ignore that cruising speed is the #1 determinant of efficiency in an EV. For the most part they are pretty informed though, and I refer back to threads here when they need to be set straight.
