The transition

I find it adorable when people write things like this. Perhaps they should think before blindly copy/paste from whichever talking point website they use.

Curious, where do you live that has capacitive highway charging so an EV doesn't need to stop to charge? Less than 10% of the miles we drive would be satisfied by home charging.

I think you are wrong on saying "less than 10 % of the miles we drive would be satisfied by home charging.

90 percent of the miles I drive are provisioned by home charging from solar panels on my roof.

Curious, where do you live that allows refueling on the go, so an ICE van doesn't need to stop to refuel? Less than 10% of the miles I drive/cycle would NOT be satisfied by home charging.

I guarantee that you spend more minutes per month pumping gas than I do at public EV charging stations.
 
DIRECT subsidy to oil and gas production in the US alone, $34.8 billion in just ONE year. take the bigger numbers with a grain of salt - it's impossible to calculate such things and all sources are biased - but the 34.8B number is pretty simple. about 15M new cars are sold in the US each year, and if 5% were EVs in the same year as the subsidy figure, the $7500 tax credit given to each of those vehicles (which is an overstatement since many people don't qualify) amount to $5.6B. so, literally one seventh the actual direct subsidy to oil production companies.

who's subsidizing who?

Global fossil fuel subsidies totaled roughly $7 trillion in 2022 due to the energy crisis. By 2024, explicit (direct fiscal) subsidies dropped to $725 billion, but implicit subsidies—the unpriced costs of climate damage and pollution—soared to $6.7 trillion. In the US, federal subsidies for oil and gas production alone cost taxpayers over $34.8 billion annually. [1, 2, 3]

Not when you are on a road trip over 500 miles.

We stopped to fuel the Ascent today. For fun, I timed my wife fueling. Started timer when the car was shut off, she hadn't put her glove on while I drove so that took time. Total time from shut off to restart: 3 min 11 seconds; she didn't know I was timing. Compared to ??30 min?? Charging station??

Kinda missed the point that if one is on a road trip one needs to stop to charge. Based on one data point (my brother) on a similar length trip, he stops more often than I do and spends much more time charging.

Does nobody travel? Feel sorry for you folks.
