Yep, technology sure doesn't start out expensive then get cheaper later. If only that were the case.

Lol, "People who disagree with me simply aren’t aware that there are EVs that are not BEVs." Oh, no, we can read. We just think you're wrong.

Let me throw out a guess, you think it'll be the hydrogen FCEV's that will take over? Those can be pretty expensive right now though. Do you think the technology will improve and get cheaper over time by any chance?

Sure. In fact, FCEVs can be as cheap as ICE cars. They completely avoid the problem of needing giant batteries. As a result, their cost floor is the same as conventional cars today.

Can you really argue that BEVs will survive if you knew that? The better question is why would we even need BEVs if hydrogen cars prove to be far cheaper?

The irony is completely lost on you, eh?

I don't think he's intelligent enough to understand irony

Unlike you, I actually know something about the subject. BEVs are never going to be particular cheap cars. The only exceptions are things like neighborhood cars. Basically, the only make a BEV cheap is by not giving it any range.

In reality, it will be something else like FCEVs. And you should be more open to this possibility, not closemindedly think that it can only be the BEV.

Could have fooled me.

PS: You do know all favorites/boosts/reduces are public right? Like I can see that you are reducing all my posts. I'd prefer it if you don't carry over this bit of Redditism.

LOL you're such a loser.

[–] PlatinumPangolin@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Oh, I'm reducing you because you are wrong or are arguing in bad faith. Both good reasons to hit the down arrow.

[–] Hypx@kbin.social -2 points 1 year ago

So basically downvote = disagree again.

Again, acting like you're on Reddit just makes you a loser.

Are you going to reduce this post too? Is this post just another example of bad faith posting? Are you really that shallow?

[–] Hypx@kbin.social -2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Again, we can all see your votes!

[–] private_ruffles@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

If it makes you feel any better, I'm downvoting you because you are acting like a dickhead, not because I disagree.
