WHY ARE EV OWNERS SO MILITANT ON SOCIAL MEDIA

EV Channels Review

The reviewer, from the 'Petrol Ped' channel, addresses the often militant and aggressive behavior of EV owners on social media, particularly in YouTube comments. While acknowledging the channel's name suggests a focus on petrol cars, the reviewer emphasizes their appreciation for all types of vehicles, including EVs and hybrids, and their desire to document the real-world ownership experience, both good and bad. The video highlights instances where the reviewer was criticized for not knowing specific EV charging or operational details, explaining that this is part of the learning process for new EV adopters. The reviewer also notes similar aggression from petrol car enthusiasts. Ultimately, the message is a call for more civility and appreciation for good engineering across all vehicle types, rather than an 'us vs. them' mentality. The reviewer plans to continue featuring a mix of EV and internal combustion engine vehicles.
