Yeah. this Iran thing sucks, but the change in filling my tank today vs a month ago was $15 for a range of 475 miles. That's 3 extra cents per mile. My point here is that pure EVs have real limitations as primary vehicles and telling people its NBD undercuts the credibility of the EV message.

Jimmy Carter was a failed president because he told Americans to put on a sweater. The Green movement has provoked backlash because of its tone of degrowth and going without.

As a communications strategy never try to sell people on making do or accepting inconvenience.

Yes, I recognize I myself can sometimes veer into this territory when I advocate for using transit or Amtrak, but I try not to hide those problems and sometimes I have to tell people "yeah, that mode isn't going to work for you".
