When a large part of society really wants to do something, my natural tendency is become extremely skeptical. The reason being in today's day and age, the bandwagoning effect is so strong; people get outsed, and critics are shamed out of the conversation. When the mechanism of criticism ceases to function; malaise develops and all kinds of bullshit gets propelled into mainstream narrative.

Not saying EV revolution isn't the right thing to do; but how can we allow space for steelmanning Toyota or areas where EV's don't make sense; how can we make sure power cuts won't leave people stranded and resiliency of transporation infrastructure becomes fragile; after all, a massive part of the GDP depends on transportation. Without it, nations will fail.

We should be a bit more level headed of the EV craze, especially hackers on HN.
