I've heard switching to EV totally removes the gas pump ads.
That switches you to a phone app platform that hides the ads but records everything about you from your telemetry and sells it.
That's no different than gas. Your phone still knows what you're doing, the credit card people track you, your car (if newer) tracks your every move. At least with electric you're not forced to listen to bullshit ads and it's cheaper.
That being said, I'll stick with my 14mpg if I don't beat on it corn and dinosaur boned fueled hotrod.
Not if you charge at home. Too bad I can't pump gas at home.
