People arguing about the price of gas, but as soon as someone mentions driving an EV they're "stupid" and woke

Exactly. Even if you're not using renewables to charge your EV, they're still significantly more fuel efficient due to the gains you get from producing energy in a power plant instead of through a small engine. I read somewhere that an EV with a 300 mile range is using the same amount of fuel to charge as if you were burning 3 gallons of gasoline.
