Take off the foil hat

Sorry, are you really just going to deny the many crimes taking place at gas stations?

Once your battery is empty you're in for a long wait.

Your battery should never be empty. With modern charging tech it's usually ~15 mins. at a fast charger to go 10-80%. The car is usually ready before me.

Plus the chances of your card being cloned with a chip and pin machine in a shop are so close to zero

You're out of your depth. This still happens all the time.

EV's are more of a statement

LOL no.

I'm guessing you're American. The rest of the world isn't quite the crime ridden hellhole.

As for charging. Filling my car up doesn't damage the fuel tank. Fast charging a battery is not good for them.

Do you think burning diesel doesn't "damage" your engine? Do you think transmissions last indefinitely?

An engine will last a lot longer than your battery cells.

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Quite the opposite, actually.

I’m not sure where you’re getting your info from. But after 10 years of fast charging an EV’s battery’s will be royally fucked.

But 10 years for a petrol or diesel car is nothing. My last car was 15 years old and ran like a dream until an old biddy pressed the accelerator instead of the brake in her car and wrote mine off.

I'm not sure where you're getting your info from but no one fast charges their battery for 10 years.

[–] Stormy1701@lemmy.zip -2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No because EVs don’t last that long.

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Okay I think it's pretty clear that you're just trolling now.

[–] Stormy1701@lemmy.zip -1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Batteries degrade over time and fast charging accelerates that degradation. After a decade of charging and fast charging the battery’s capacity will be a fraction of what it was when new.

These are facts, indisputable and verifiable facts.

If you think I’m trolling then I am dead right about the intelligence of the average EV driver. They’re morons in denial about their poor purchase decisions.

No one is disputing that, Strawman. We're disputing the notion that a battery will be "royally fucked" after 10 years and that anyone "fast charges their vehicle for 10 years", as you put it.

[–] Stormy1701@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What the hell are you talking about? 10 years of regular fast charging will fuck the battery.

Now clearly you have zero understanding about how and why battery degradation occurs yet you have planted your flag and are prepared to die on this hill.

As you seem rather unintelligent and/or a troll there doesn't appear to much point in continuing this conversation.

Good bye.

What is "regular" fast charging? This is a point that you refuse to expound on because you know it will destroy your own argument. Most people will not fast charge more than a dozen times a year or so. 99% of charging will be done at home.

I see now you've moved on from strawmanning to personal attacks. You're really putting together some super compelling arguments here.

Feel free to provide sources for any of this nonsense.
