The craziest thing for me is how some people cling to propaganda, even when it doesn’t match their lived reality.

A friend of mine still insists that electric cars are [insert any cliché you know], and that they can’t make it up a hill once the battery is even slightly drained.

…

We’ve been on several road trips in an electric car.

With four dogs in a trailer.

All across Germany and even as the Czech Republic.

And we (the friend who owns the electric road-trip car and I) charge it at home, where we have a solar system and a heat pump.

And yet, every now and then, “this can’t work”. The dissonance is real.
