You’re missing the point that people buy new cars while their old car is perfectly good.
Edit: I see now that you are saying people buy new cars to replace a perfectly good old car. This is true, and also not your decision to make for other people. I also don’t see what that has to do with anything beyond new vehicle production, which EVs don’t fix.
Most cars will run for hundreds of thousands of miles with standard maintenance, which people neglect to do.
Irrelevant.
Retrofitting electric solutions to existing cars would further extend their life, as the low work-life components are all in the drivetrain.
Do you know where to get this work done in your town? I don’t. I live in an enormous metropolitan area so the service is almost certainly available, but I wouldn’t even know how to start looking. And what about people in rural areas? You think it’s available there? Or if it is where it can be found? This would be the accessibility I was talking about earlier.
I outlined what a two wheeled electric solution should be because you dismissed the entire sector as death traps, which is wrong and counter productive.
A motorcyclist is 25-30 times more likely to die in a fatal accident. So you’re just wrong about that. And unless you’re an automotive designer your two wheeled electric solutions are just pipe-dreams until someone actually commercializes one.
I feel like I’m coming off as being against EV when I am very much not. In fact I wish that mass transit was actually a practical solution everywhere, but it isn’t. I wish that we could just leave combustions in the past but we aren’t quite there yet.
I know for certain that you’re coming off as an asshole who thinks he has all the answers but clearly you don’t because I don’t see your two-wheeled ev wonder car being advertised.
When people like you show up and start saying things like “the solution to climate change is for everyone else to ride bikes and use technology that doesn’t exist yet”, the only thing you’re really doing is making the rest of the movement look more radical than it has to.
