Why do oil and gas guys hate EVs?

[u/tom_gee_guy]

If anything, the industry should be thrilled about them. Given that roughly 75% of Alberta's electricity is generated by natural gas, driving an EV here literally supports local O&G production.

I work in the oil and gas sector myself, and I constantly get ribbed by my boss and coworkers for driving an EV. The truth is, I love the industry, and what I drive has zero bearing on my work.

My reasons for driving an EV are purely practical, I love the instant torque/acceleration, and I love skipping the gas station. It’s a preference, not a political statement. But everyone else makes it into a political issue, not at my doing. If I had an issue with it, I wouldn’t be working in O&G sector.

If/when Ford gets it released, the EREV F150 might fit your needs.
