    Not an EV hater. Neither of you live in an apartment or where EV chargers are few.

    Just not developed mature enough or suite my current needs.

    I do agree that EV's are the future.

    The energy needed for and the damage to the environment to source the material to make the batteries offsets the saving to the environment.

    Currently the best option are hybrids, which Toyota agrees.

    Looking forward to debunking any obscure source that might be linked to. Sounds more like a Sudbury mine fallacy that the nay sayers tried to use against the Prius a couple/few prius generations ago.

    You say this, but then you follow it up with misinformation such as:
    That is why people tend to categorize you as an EV hater.

    If you actual show how you come to these conclusions that would go a long way towards dismissing that belief.
    When you ignore requests for references or your line of reasoning, it reinforces the belief that you are biased against EVs.
