EVs are good an all but. they are just data collection machines. Electricity don’t grow on trees and I don’t even have a place to plug one in although I briefly rented a prius once (far from home ) and I liked it charging it whenever I was able to was convenient and on the limited commute I used it , I could get away with charging it on specific places and barely needed the gastank. I guess if you Americans have those large-homes garages parking spaces . and better infrastructure they are good for that put for ppl parking on the street and live on a flat at least where I am, finding a charger is a luxury. but even in your countries electricity is mostly fossil fuels isn’t it ? still better than polluting the road adjacent areas I guess. anyways these were my issues on the limited time I tried and ev an contemplated about buying one not related to republicans or America I know but adoption related ?.
Newer gasoline/petrol cars are also data collection machines. False dichotomy there.
Even if the electricity comes from fossil fuels, the efficiency of large plants is far better than that of individual combustion engines; and it provides better opportunity to replace the source with something renewable or at least safer, like solar, wind, or nuclear.
I ain’t buying a new car period ( not like I have money ) and a decent small hatchback like a polo or fiesta from early to 2010 would prolly be the best I can afford or a kia or hyundai might be a tad bit more affordable . I’d steer clear from anything newer not necessarily by choice but the whole cars becoming applications thing is def contributing to it

You are right. But I think EV charging generates more data than gas.
