    I’ve already had these conversations online…

    1. At the moment, they’ve already shifted to claiming EV cars are worse for the environment…
    2. Yanking on about Towing capacity. They still haven’t worked out that literally so few cars on the road (at least here in Australia), even have a towbar. Even less use it (even during long holidays)…
    3. Range. These guys haven’t worked out yet, that they aren’t going to be driving 16 hrs a day… And, for those applications, if unavoidable, worst case scenario is then Fuel cells.

      Agree with all of these. Like they need a vehicle that can tow a semi every day for 800 miles. I’ve had the same talk and for many of them they are at LEAST a 2 car household. I keep saying okay if you need a vehicle that can do all of that… What about the other vehicle. Silence every time. Because they can’t accept that there may actually be a valid use case.

      You want a giant truck for towing? Fine. But 90% of them are lying to themselves. Those people need commuter cars, and that’s where EVs are perfect
