    As it is currently, electric cars are worse for the environment because we all decided electric cars are basically the iphones of automobiles.

    They are riddled with planned obscelence and proprietary hardware. Theres not a chance in hell these would last longer than 10 years.

    Meanwhile ICE vehicles can easily last decades if well cared for

    I’m not shilling ICE vehicles, but stating the fact we NEED right to repair before we adopt electric vehicles on a large scale.

    Remember that capitalism WANTS our belongings to break, and WANTS to infinitely produce, and WANTS us to infinitely consume.

      Aside from the batteries needing to be replaced at some point, electric vehicles should far outlast their ICE counterparts. A significant breakthrough in batteries could make that well worth it.

      I’d love a right to repair, but also prefer to just get rid of capitalism. Not that these have to be mutually exclusive.

        Yes, EVs should outlast ICE (excrept maybe the motors) but as it stands now, if theres something wrong with any of thr electronics it just won’t work, and you need to get it repaired, with special proprietary parts, from an official dealer ship and charges eye watering prices, so thr cars end up in the junkyard cause its too expensive to repair, and it becomes e-waste.
