India is still far away from sustainable energy generation. I feel EV 4 wheelers are just a rich person's toy for now. But EV 2 wheelers with swappable battery is promising, hopefully, Bounce Infinity E1 & Simple One are actually good when they hit the road.Also the tata ev cars cost twice as much is their ICE counterparts .
Not value for money unless you are explicitly environmentally conscious.

Energy can move towards sustainable ones in future. Even with coal, in the long run EVs produce less emission even though EV manufacturing itself is more environmentally damaging vs IC car manufacturing.I may sound stupid, but why are we moving towards electric cars, doesnt ev require electricity and electricity majorly comes from coal especially in india which is again not environment friendly?
The study, published by Transport Energy/Emission Research (TER), makes a detailed comparison of emissions from internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, and battery electric vehicles (BEVs). It finds that, even with Australia’s 2018 energy mix of around 80 per cent fuel (mostly coal) and 20 per cent renewables, transport emissions would fall by between 16 and 40 per cent if the fleet was fully electric.
It's easier to replace a few hundred polluting power plants than it is to replace millions of small vehicles.I may sound stupid, but why are we moving towards electric cars, doesnt ev require electricity and electricity majorly comes from coal especially in india which is again not environment friendly?
@Sarath Just saying, even though I might agree that charging times are not an issue for daily commuters who travel maybe just 10-40kms per day, but the problem is charging itself. How will you charge? I myself don't live in a big residential apartment complex with individual parking for everyone. This is India, here people in cities don't have private parking, yet buy vehicles, so how will you get a charger in road side?
As I mentioned earlier, swappable batteries seem like the future for 2 wheeler EVs. For 2 wheelers, I feel if real-world battery life is like 80km or so, it should be enough for most, but more the merrier. You can just carry the battery to your home & charge it overnight.
For cars, some innovative new solutions will likely come up. Battery swapping stations is possible, but time will tell. I don't see super fast 10min charging becoming economical anytime soon.
I would like to add that 70%+ of carbon emissions in the world are caused by just a handful of companies. So even if you follow a strict regimen to reduce your carbon footprint, all of your efforts are just a drop in the ocean.Environmentally: No one actually cares about the environment so I won't comment on that. I mean for real like reducing flushes, taking less frequent baths, not washing your car with water, taking trains instead of flights, carpooling actively, turning off the lights outside your home as in the corridor stairs etc etc

All or most of those emission are to make products for end consumers like us. No matter which way we look at it we are hand in glove with the big corporations; hiding behind the veil of the common man.I would like to add that 70%+ of carbon emissions in the world are caused by just a handful of companies.

It's a weird chicken-and-egg kind of scene. But then again the consumers don't own the means of production, so it's upto the companies to conduct their production responsibly.All or most of those emission are to make products for end consumers like us.

Humans have been smoking for thousands of years. The fact was that life expectancy was so low throughout history that no one knew to specifically blame smoking. You could just die by eating bad fish or drinking from a different pool of water in a matter of days / weeks. Smoking in comparison took years to kill anyone and that too through secondary effects. The lobby part came in when tobacco got industrialized. No more buying tobacco, then buying rolling paper or a pipe, learning how to use them etc. Filtered cigarettes were introduced as a means of fooling people into thinking that smoking was safe. Many studies were doctored into saying smoking was not related to cardiovascular diseases. Later all this was found to be true. Smoking adverts were banned. Age and sale restrictions were placed. Taxes were increased. Come to the present day, despite a ban on advertisements and an ocean of data available online regarding the ill effects of smoking, the sales of tobacco products is still very high. It's the people again consuming what they desire. In fact due to the increase in taxes on tobacco products, the farmer who produce tobacco are seeing their crop stolen and sold in the black market.money over morale
they lobbied that smoking is neither addictive(testified infront of congress) nor people are at risk of cancer , millions got addicted and its still surviving
Exxon accepting climate change theories will not change anything for us. We will still buy their oil. Their evil lies in the fact that they fund both climate change researchers and deniers. They are playing both sides on the field. All the while, we continue to consume their products no matter the evil they unleash.exxon knew of climate impact due to fossil fuels but chose to not speak about it , tried to not accept climate change theories
Facebook and Byjus are pure evil. There is no salvaging them.facebook papers - did not try to stop hate / toxic spread , coz hate breeds more attention and "mow attention mow monies" let the world burn , let people kill each other we just need money (non disclosure statements to hide all that) , zucker is still unpunished although hes the head of fb
byjus is another example of selling dreams to families who sees their children as some sort of a race horse
