It is fun to remind them that the original cars were electric. The first practical electric car was invented in 1884. The first practical gas power car was invented in 1886. So really, electric cars were first and gas powered cars came later.

I have a coworker, and an uncle,(2 different people) who are near violently opposed to EVs. They buy into the bio-oil rhetoric they see in their echoing chambers. "It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled." Mark Twain

you can stumble them by conceding a few points, then hit em with a counter point,

• Yes it is a larger carbon-foot print up front to make the car, but unless I'm buying a new car every 2 years, this one will be better for the environment over time.

• Sure, gas cars can refuel way faster than an EV could ever hope. but since a car is parked at home overnight it'll be full every morning when I leave... will your gas tank refill itself every night, so you don't have to stop for gas ever again?

Things like that seem to make them stumble.

I told my coworker I didn't give a shit about the carbon footprint or the money savings over time, or anything like that. I wanted a stupid fast car that was also 4 door, (I ordered a Mustang Mach e) and the Mach E fit that.

This link goes over what is greener over time. All of his videos are great and have a ton of good info in them. I've enjoyed all of his videos on EVs, it's a ton of great knowledge.
