@pvonhellermannn If you're looking at it like an experiment and aware of the issues, go for it. It's those who buy and tote #EVs s and hence themselves as the saviours of humankind that get the most flack I hope. Least bad option if you've got the possibility seems reasonable.

FFS I've got a friend who - probably nudged by my example - has bought an expensive off-the-shelf #eBike and parked it up for the winter, continuing to use guzzling 4x4. Me: "What winter? It's Portugal and 13 C outside."

Then there's also those EV owners who invest in all this kit with vast embedded cost and energy and hardly use it. Like an #intentionalCommunity I was associated with in UK, some of whose members bought one then put a way-too high club-value on it so that it sat in the car-park nearly all the time while other members chugged around on their daily local errands in filthy old diesels.
