I am starting to think electric cars and electric bikes are pointless

I am starting to think electric cars and electric bikes are pointless. They seem very expensive with a short shelf life. While a diesel or petrol car can last easily over 40 years with a regular service and do a timer belt change every few years. The cost to charge electric cars does not seem cheap. And that is if you can find a working one that is not being used. And happy to sit hours till it is charged. And if you get a power cut or you need to dash to a place in a hurry and the car is not charged. If you want to save money then just buy a scooter. Cheap to but. Cheap to run. I mean a petrol scooter. The other thing is who will want to buy your old electric car or bike from you when the newer model is probably a lot better and possibly even cheaper. Just look at laptops. They used to be thousands to buy. Now you can get them for under £100. Yet many many times more power. And that is a problem with electric cars and electric bikes. The one you buy today will probably look very out of date in a year or two.
