Why Do People Hate Electric Cars So Much?
We’re diving into one of the most controversial debates in car culture: Why do people hate Electric Vehicles so much? Once it was hybrids, now it’s EVs. Some say they’re soulless, too heavy, or unsafe. Others think they’re the future of driving.
In this video, I share my own experiences—from being yelled at for checking out a Dodge Charger EV, to renting an Audi e-tron GT that even my ICE-loving friends admitted didn’t “feel like an EV.” I break down the biggest EV myths, highlight the positives of EVs and gas cars, and make the case that both should coexist.
And yes, I still plan to buy a Corvette E-Ray because I love noise, speed, and tech. Fight me.
đź’¬ Questions for YOU (drop in the comments):
– Why do you think EV hate is so strong? Nostalgia? Fear of change? Or just internet noise?
– Do you believe EVs and ICE cars can truly co-exist in the car community?
– If you could only own ONE—an ICE legend (V8, V12, turbo monster) or a futuristic EV (Tesla Plaid, Taycan, Lucid)—which one are you picking and why?
– Is sound really what makes a car “alive,” or are we just moving the goalposts?
– Would you ever daily an EV and keep a petrol car as a weekend toy?
📌 Stick around, this one’s gonna get heated. Let’s start a conversation.
