In Reply to: They may not "save us", but EVs are definitely a more efficient way of powering automobiles. posted by MWE on November 29, 2023 at 11:15:58:
...in order to keep it viable, EVs are probably preferable. They never need oil changes, there are no head gaskets to blow, no timing chains to break, no exhaust system to replace, no fuel system, no evaporative system to fail, no real need for driveshafts (some EV platforms have an motor at each wheel), no cylinder deactivation, no turbocharging, no direct injection...
