You don't like EV's and nothing you hear or say will convince you otherwise.
In my day to day life it's noise and the stink of exhausts, the oil that litters the trails you guys ride on that matters to me.
EV's are in their infancy, but there are people behind the curtain who want to kill the tech before their stock and interests implode.
I love my V6 but I'm gonna be dead in twenty years and really only looking for the future not my own interests.
This is a out of sight out of mind thing in regard to EV pollution. I'm sure the cobalt miner and china agree with you that EV are clean :)

Funny how the guys arguing so hard for EVs, don't have 4xe Wranglers... Wonder why that is?

So you'll agree with me that the cobalt miner and China along with all Americans should unionize for safer regulations?
And enforce the EPA to regulate all polluters?
See common ground acheived. 👍🗽

Because a 4xe isn't an EV? It's a PHEV.

Hybrids = needlessly complex.
Still reduces the amount of fuel you waste needlessly into the atmosphere. Or is this one of those good for thee but not for me kinda things?

Here comes the pushback you mentioned:

So you like EV’s and nothing you hear or say will convince you otherwise. How very scientific of you.

You are only worried about the pollution in your backyard, and not someone else’s backyard? Pollution is pollution, no matter where on this crazy ball we live.

ICE engines are only about 50% efficient, even in their current "high efficiency" state. The rest of the energy is lost to friction/noise/heat.

But hey, if you want to throw half your money spent on gasoline for propulsion into the atmosphere, go ahead. And that's not even accounting for the losses getting to retail gasoline.

And, are you not "America First"?? 🤯

I own an EV. Do you?
But you still chose a horrible gasoline only Wrangler that is going to kill us all, if we are to believe the hype. So clearly you don't think it's that important. Just posturing for clout?

I didn't call gasoline Wranglers horrible. You did. I think EV's are great. You're also assuming I prioritize the environment first when considering EV's. That assumption is false.

Oh, I see. How puerile of you
Someone's been using a thesaurus.....

See my response above.
‘You’ll agree to tighter regulations to restrict pollution wherever it occurs.
Lock up and fine any factory owner or corporation that pollutes the environment.
