in another 10 years are you dolts gonna continue to pretend that you're not aware of the mountain of advantages EV's have?

We will do that when the advantages start out weighing the disadvantages. Being able to charge at home is only an advantage of there's no worries about charging everywhere else.

It's not just about the number of jobs there are. It's about the quality of the jobs. It doesn't matter if there is 100% employment if almost everyone is making minimum wage. Already there have been articles about how most of the people who work for AI companies are treated like dirt. Maybe you will be able to become an 'AI query engineer'. But you aren't going to be keeping your skilled salary because anyone can enter words into an AI.

My wife used one of those apps to book a vacation one year. The app advertised free valet service. When we got to the hotel, not only did we not get that deal but there was someone else in line behind me that had the same issue. The hotel would do nothing, possibly fairly, because I was dealing with a third party. Never want back to anything like that again.

Also, I might add that rental vehicles are half the cost across the ocean. In fact they are dirt cheap compared to Canada. So you can rent a train and rent a vehicle without blowing your budget. In the last couple years rentals have gone up to easily 150 a day so I am always trying to drive my own vehicle whenever possible.

Well they are smaller than Canada and the US are they not? They probably have a more evenly distributed population rather than major cities with hours in between without anything so they know they can place a charger anywhere and it will be profitable. Also in combination with being smaller, they have better mass transit which means you aren't depending on the EV to go everywhere you want to go. On top of that, Norway basically bribes people to buy EVs. They make EVs less expensive while making ICEs more expensive. Sweden does the same thing. All of this serves to combat the downfalls of EVs
