Big problem with your line of thinking. Your firing off knee jerk instant answers. Without context or understanding.
It will be a F of alot more than $30 a month.
Tell me when do they plan to build an electric tractor? Electric dump truck? Electric snow ploughs?
So you can harvest your own gasoline or no? I just pointed out that there are many ways to get electricity, I don’t think that’s true for gas. Didn’t say a generator was a good way to do it or that anyone needs to do this.
In my opinion, EVs are a big nothing burger. They might be suitable for driving around downtown Clownville (Ottawa) or Toronto, but not suitable for real rural living. Or hauling. Or working.
I think one of the biggest problems is too many people have bought into the green lies, Below is a link to bright green lies, well worth the watch. I know Lierre Kieth personally (one of the authors)
Bright Green Lies the film and book dismantle the illusion of "green" technology.

IMO too Canadians buy into the propaganda of so called environmentalist (They are anything but), REAL environmentalist (like Allan Savory are totally ignored)

Or someone has figured out how to remove cobalt from batteries. The same can’t be said for the catalytic converter. You’re really grasping at straws here.

We agree that alterative engines are the future, be it EVs or Hydrogen or some other method.
But you cant sit high on the hog about the positive effects of an EV without recognizing the major negative human, environmental and moral implication of the precious metal mining that takes place in their production. Nor the fact the mass amount of plastic used in vehicle fabrication is dependent on petroleum production.
While cobalt is the mineral conundrum at the heart of the renewable energy transition, cobalt mining is associated with environmental and social issues.
Cell phones and electric cars rely on the mineral, causing a boom in demand. Locals are hunting for this buried treasure—but are getting almost none of the profit.

Its much akin to the social justice warrior pontificating about the great injustices in their society from an electronic device; and while wearing clothing; and eating food that was probably manufactured or grown using slave labor in some far off land.
