they are going to replace gasoline in a large portion of the market whether you like it or not. Economics wins over feelings every time.
Not because EVs will be cheaper, the more people demanding EVs, there will be more increase in demand for lithium batteries. The batteries will always be expensive. Batteries will have to be mined until nearly all cars are electric.
Oil is an artificially controlled market, oil should be as cheap as water. It is far easier to drill for oil than it is to mine battery materials.
We will be shoved into EVs as every EV will be self driving, they want to kill gas cars as many are not self driving. Now if you are against the state or didn't have your vax, no self driving mobility for you Goyim. It comes down to control.
railgun
You are going to need capacitors to fire a rail gun, only a capacitor is capable of discharging quick enough and large enough amperage, your rail gun system is going to be large. Whereas a bullet is tiny, all that energy in 7.62x51mm.
The power source in a normal gun is in the bullet, the power source in the rail gun is external and very large.
Not because EVs will be cheaper,
EVs are cheaper NOW, and they're only going to get cheaper. People who drive less than 250 miles a day and understand economics and ROI are driving them. People who haven't figured it out yet aren't.
You can buy a Nissan Leaf or Chevy Bolt, both with ~250 miles range for about $28,000 - $30,000. You get a $7,500 federal tax rebate. Some states also have rebates. In California it's $2,000. My electric utility also offers a $1,000 rebate. That makes the net price $17,500 - $19,500. You get about 4 miles per kWh, so 100,000 miles of driving costs you $3,750 at California electricity prices. Electric cars do not need oil changes, tune ups, air filters, or other engine maintenance, so that's out of the equation too. Everything else they need (tires, windshield wipers, etc.) is the same as gas cars so they don't factor into a cost difference.
A gas car of similar quality and features costs about $25,000. If it averages 30 mpg you will spend about $10,750 on gas per 100,000 miles at California gas prices (we're keeping the analysis constant - California electricity and gas prices). You will also need to get maybe 10 regular maintenance services at somewhere around $100 (being generous here). Your total cost to drive 100,000 miles is $25,000 + $10,750 + $1,000 = $36,750, or 36.75 cents per mile. The electric car's total cost to drive 100,000 miles is $17,500 + $3,750 = $21,250, or 21.25 cents per mile.
Tell me how $36,750 is cheaper than $21,750. Even if you take away all the rebates the electric car's total cost after 100,000 miles is $31,750 - still cheaper than the gas car by $5,000.
They are not cheap, a leaf or bolt is a POS entry level car which a gas version would be only 20k for the same car fully loaded. You also use california prices, some people are located in areas without high gas tax and have winter to deal with.
This guy is obviously a california snow flake, who lives in a concrete jungle and visits reddit daily for his "news". I can smell it a mile away.
He's lived a completely insulated life away from reality. The concrete jungle filled with propaganda on every corner is all he knows. So electric cars are the only way in his mind. Sad sad boy..

The car would have to cost $14,000 just to match the total cost of operation. Doesn't matter the state. We can use Texas. In Lubbock we can get our electricity for $0.095/kWh and our gas for $1.63 at Costco. At those prices one gallon of gas costs as much as 17 kWh of electricity. That's enough to drive 75 - 85 miles. What $20,000 gas car gets 75 - 85 mpg?
