In Vietnam we’re losing crop because of saltwater backflow on the Mekong. Dams have been built in several places upstream and all the reservoirs are being filled.

Oh yeah, absolutely. When I was stateside I put on better than 30k miles a year. An EV wasn’t a viable vehicle for me (for work anyway). Must people I know aren’t that though. Including the charger price as a constant is what inflated this, as well as commercial charging.
…how? Like, it cost $30 (10 gal) to fill my petrol car in the states. Even if I was using 150kwh in electricity, at my power rate in Wisconsin ($.13/kWh), it’s $19.95. I live in Vietnam now, and pay 2500 VND per kWh, and petrol is about 23500vnd/litre. I have an electric moped that goes 110km/charge, and has a usable capacity of about 0.7kwh. I rarely empty the battery, but even if I did it daily, it would be .08USD/day.
I’d like to see the math crunched on this.
Edit: I found the math. It’s dishonest. Shocker.
I live in Vietnam, and I’m here to tell you that bugs and rats are more expensive than rice. I’ve eaten them all 🍽️
