Wow, what an arrogant twat. Let's tackle these stupid criticisms 1 by 1:

1. Yes, They cost more. The cost is offset by the lower cost of ownership over time. If you finance the car, you never even feel that cost because you just pay the difference to the bank instead of the oil companies, and pocket the remainder. And you get a nicer car in the process.
2. Longer to refuel. On long trips, yes. The other 99% of the time you actually save a fuckton of time not going to the gas station. Not to mention improved safety and lower risk of ID theft as your CC is stolen (which has happened to me several times).
3. Battery degrades. Yeah, I mean, so does your engine and transmission and everything else about your ICE car. Batteries will likely outlast your ICE powertrain, and they'll slowly degrade over time, and when they're done you can sell them to a recycler and get some of your money back.
4. Trains/Buses/Bikes. Yeah, these are great if you have them, or the infrastructure that supports them. We don't have them. If I try to ride my bike to the grocery store 2 miles away there is a very high probability of death, because I have to cross a 70MPH highway, and there's no other way to get there. This has nothing to do with the discussion of ICE cars vs. electric cars. I both drive an electric and and actively advocate for improved non-car infrastructure but I'm 1 person.
5. I don't know what this whole tangent about Chinese cars is about. Those are electric too?
