Even if the electricity is free you’ll have to replace your battery once in a while and at current prices that is ludicrously expensive.

Yeah the fossil fuels industry is “cheaper” because it has a shit ton of subsidies and does not include the environmental cost.

The solutions don’t have to be perfect, they have to be better. And if your only argument is money, then fuck off.
