25mpg is still insanely, obscenely profligate when a reasonable vehicle (say a Renault Clio) gets somewhere between 50 and 70. That will make some people angry and it’s hard to see that as entirely irrational.

I completely agree and I personally consider it ethically wrong to buy an ICE at this point in time. There’s still a premium to pay for an EV, but the excuses are rapidly evaporating. What this tells me is that for all the lip service people give about the environment, fundamentally most people don’t really give a shit.
