  • Coming from a third world country (Egypt) these are the major problems with EVs according to my conversations with other locals:

    1. Can’t charge at home. Many people live in densely populated buildings where they park their car on the street.

    2. If they would install chargers in front of their buildings, they would cost a shit ton because of the current exchange rate and they would get stolen because of the price and the fact that they’re out in public. Situation is so bad here that even CAR EMBLEMS were being stolen.

    3. Repair. There’s barely anyone trained on them, and since barely anyone’s buying them spare parts are rare.

    4. Longevity. They won’t last as long as an ICE because of the battery wear, especially with the heat we get in the summer.

    5. Price. Currently there’s only high end electric cars since only the rich have single family homes with garages. There have been “startups” that basically showed off some cheap Chinese electric cars that can only go like 30kmph but that’s pretty much it in the cheaper price point

    That’s pretty much all i can remember.





  • Backpack: If you want a backpack to last 2-4 years, sure. but theirs is designed to last decades.

    With the ratcheting screwdriver, i do agree. I just wanted to justify (idk if that’s the right word im ESL) the price point that it’s not that far out from other brands. And by professional grade i mean stuff like snap-on, and megapro. These brands are pretty much on par with pricing and quality.

    Also the prices are definitely at least slightly inflated since their shop is a merch shop first, everything else second. You buy stuff from it to support their work and get a premium product with it.
