    The craziest thing for me is how some people cling to propaganda, even when it doesn’t match their lived reality.

    A friend of mine still insists that electric cars are [insert any cliché you know], and that they can’t make it up a hill once the battery is even slightly drained.

    We’ve been on several road trips in an electric car.

    With four dogs in a trailer.

    All across Germany and even the Czech Republic.

    And we (another friend who owns the electric road-trip car and me with my “city”-car) charge it at home, where we have a solar system and a heat pump.

    And yet, every now and then “this can’t work”. The dissonance is real.
