@thefinanceinfo: Rory Sutherland explains why petrol cars only seem normal because they came first — not because they’re better. If we’d started with electric vehicles, no one would ever approve the petrol alternative. They’re noisy, inefficient, polluting, and you can’t refuel them at home. It’s a classic case of status quo bias. Electric cars solve all the practical issues — but because petrol came first, we treat them as the standard. It shows how deeply habits and perceptions shape innovation (or block it). 🔋🚗 #electriccar #psychology #Economy
After we bought an EV our refueling expenses dropped to 10%. Yes, not dropped *by* 10% but *to* 10%. And it's almost maintenance free. In about a year it needs to have the brakes inspected. That will be the first service in three years.

Certainly not more comfortable or more drivable. Significantly heavier vehicles with stiffer tires, stiffer suspension, harder to turn and maneuver sharply…

Don’t own an electric car, but can see that many of the arguments against them hold little weight. He always has an interesting perspective.

everything he says is right so why are EVs so much more expensive no engine, no gearbox etc

Why are electronic cars not cheaper if they are vastly simpler?

Like Rory, but he's massively glazed over all of the issues with electric. Infrastructure just isn't there. Charge times are ridiculously long. Tech is prohibitively expensive. Battery materials like lithium are in short supply. That's just a few issues.

Electric cars are not the future. In 20 years you won’t see any everything will be hydrogen powered.

I was skeptical to EVs for years. Until I actually bought one. Every time I drive an ICE car now it feels like stepping back in time. Never going back to that outdated tech. Almost everyone who hates EVs are people with zero experience with it and it shows.

Would you replace the battery for $13k after 10 years?

More comfortable ? 🤪 plus destroy roads quicker as twice the weight. Not enough charging stations, rapid tyre wear, range anxiety in winter when heating used and lights on more etc etc. In 10 years they will be if novelty value only 👍
