Also, the Tesla Plaid and Porsche Taycan are quicker than ICE cars in all acceleration metrics, not just 0-60.
EVs are the future and are better for the planet, like it or not.

Better from a fueling perspective IF the electricity is from renewables. Even California purchases electricity from carbon plants....outside of California....
EV's are much worse from a construction point of view. Battery elements come from the earth. A LOT of new mining is taking place to create the batteries...that mining has environmental destruction issues all of it's own. Plus the Carbon needed to power the mining. Plus the majority of the mining is outside the USA where environmental regulations are a j o k e.
Hydrogen would be a much better choice , except the corrupt politicians have created a "battery movement".....for a while...until they tell us it's dirty and create another "Movement" to siphon more $$$$
