The young man says: "It's high time you retire, old man!" Panel 2: An old man with a long beard and the Xorg logo on his chest is sitting on a throne and petting a rat, the XFCE mascot. He says: "It's still a hundred years too early for you to defeat me!" ]

Today, X is like the horse and buggy proponents, claiming the car isn't feasible cause you can't get gasoline in every town.

It's the same argument. Getting a reasonable amount of charging is possible in 15 minutes. But not everyone has immediate access to fast charging stations. If everyone could always make a deliberate decision whether to go easy on the battery and save money or having to be places, EVs may look much more appealing to a lot of people.

Hybrids are way better than full EVs imo.

They come infestated with proprietary software making them more of a tech product than a mode of transportation which leads to fear on their repairability as well as whether or not you'll own the damn thing after you spend a quarter million years paying it off
