Just going to most of this comment I’ve already made:
And the rest of the infrastructure?
The diesel trucks that transport everything at every level of industry? The diesel heavy machinery that builds the buildings, roads, etc? The ships that everything thing is imported and exported by? What about everything made from petroleum products?
Fossil fuels are used at every level for so many things and the price of them going up will drive the price of everything that needs them up.
There’s no escaping fossil fuels. You buy any sort of product and I can say with near certainty that fossil fuels got it to you.
You totally gloss over that EVs include trucks and ships. If you want to minimize your use of fossil fuels, you have options. Minimize before you try to “escape” them.
And the absolute vast majority of products you buy are being transported by fossil fuels. EV trucks and ships are a tiny minority.
And we’re not talking about minimising the use of fossil fuels here, this whole comment thread is about how rising oil prices will effect whether or not you have an EV because everything you consume is brought to you by fossil fuels.
The products we consume can be transported by batteries, and we will get there. By minimizing fossil fuels, rising oil prices wouldn’t affect you so much. I already have an EV, so I can tell you first hand that the pump price doesn’t affect me as much as it affects you.
