EVs are 2.5 times as reliable as fossil cars, on average.
It’s now been 6 months since I got an EV and I am still in love with how it drives. But I also thoroughly get a kick of being able to charge fully at home.
Truly a shame that one piece of tech we have that can do a net-good, our corporate and political leaders want to bury it.

When remote farmers in poor rural regions in third world countries are routinely installing solar panels and other local power production, but your first world country is actively fighting it, everyone has to understand we're self-defeating.

Iran’s unrest is escalating. In Abadan, security forces reportedly refused to disperse protesters and instead joined them. The Times reports that Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is preparing a contingency plan to flee with his family to Moscow if the situation spirals out of control.
