Wish somebody would plot public chargers per 100,000.

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 16 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm also curious about ICE cars per 100,000 (or cars in general)

[–] Gingernate@programming.dev 2 points 10 months ago

110,000 hahahaha

[–] TheOSINTguy@sh.itjust.works 9 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Genuinely surprised that alaska has more EVs the Mississippi.

[–] PyroNeurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 10 months ago

Mississippi is also dirt poor. Rather than per resident, l'd like to see per 100k cars.

Half of Alaskas population lives in Anchorage and gas is expensive.

Georgia has a lot too surprisingly. Also digging the EV usage in Hawaii

Now overlay a political map

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

New York is one of the most liberal states in the country, but its got fewer EVs per capita than Texas in no small part because its also one of the few states with a functional mass transit system.

Utah is one of the reddest states in the country, but it also has enormous wealth per capita, so it has far more new EVs than bluer states like Delaware and Rhode Island and New Mexico and Wisconsin.

Thank God for Mississippi!

[–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 10 months ago

Mississippi - nearly always dead last in anything good.

[–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Most of them make sense, like ND, given the distance and very cold winters.

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 4 points 10 months ago

Mississippi is behind everyone else again

[–] GreatTitEnthusiast@mander.xyz 4 points 10 months ago

Just visited Denver/Boulder. They had EVs everywhere

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Now overlay that map with a map of all the states with the largest populations of poor people.

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

It's not the same map. The east coast is rich as well. That being said, I'm guessing a Tesla is down the list from a proper closed sewage system, if you're in a poor black belt county, so no surprise it's pretty low in the deep south.

There's poor people in NY, of course, but so is there in Cali.

[–] OmegaLemmy@discuss.online 2 points 10 months ago

In Turkey, a Tesla is very cheap compared to alternatives. By cheap I mean thrice as cheap.

[–] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

The real question is what state has the most people per 1000 EVs!

[–] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 2 points 10 months ago

Thanks for sharing!

[–] SomeGuy69@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I've seen quite a lot of Tesla in Florida, way more than 1%. However I was only at tourist places.

[–] morphballganon@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

So every state under 425 sucks balls yeah?

Actually I'm not sure if WI deserves that, are they cool?

[–] lemming934@lemmy.sdf.org -5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Electric cars are bad for the environment since they require mineral mining and polute the city with micoplastics from tire dust. They are almost as bad as ICE cars.

Ebikes are the way to go.

[–] crimsonpoodle@pawb.social 3 points 10 months ago

Yes, microplastics are bad, but the comparison between electric and ICE cars is just not true at all. Mineral mining can be bad, but it's mostly bad because bad is cheap, and they can get away with it in third-world countries with lax environmental protections; however, even given this, when a battery wears out, all it is is a change of configuration of the materials that make it up, which you can reclaim, and we're getting better at reclaiming those disordered elements in used batteries. So the percentage of reused minerals in batteries will continue to climb. ICE cars combust fuels which are used up and turned into water and CO2, which is bad and requires more fuel. Also, yes, e-bikes are good.

Dropped your /s

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works -3 points 10 months ago (2 children)

As a Californian, I'm sorry about Musk, guys... We fucking hate that guy, and his shitty cars, but we have a ton of people here, and some of them are Conservatives and/or Nazi's that own Tesla's.

[–] bam13302@ttrpg.network 8 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Just because someone buy/use a product from a company doesn't mean they like the CEO.

That's the most american thing I heard today
