EVs and electricity are both easier to do DIY at home than ICE and homemade ethanol (and no one even pretends home mode petrol production is remotaly feasible). The only reason EVs are seeing the subscription model harder than ICE is: a they are newer and it’s new and b. They are HARDER to lock people into bullshit. No sweetheart deal with a dealership for biannual fleasing by lube techs they are ripping off, no guarantee that in 3-5 years the rube Goldberg explosion machine and the rest of the car are going to be so shitty that a new car makes sense.
Slate, Edison, and Mutany Motors are all examples of what new world of EV could be like instead of the bull shit that ICE and oil industry and kept us in for nearly a century of enslaving humanity.
Also also, e-motos and e-bikes because not everyone needs a ton of metal to move around cities if they are built for people and not just to extract wealth from suckers.
