Café Inquiry (Online) – Electric Vehicle Downsides

August 27, 2023 @ 11:00 am - 12:30 pm

Go To Meeting This event is held online. (Click the button to join the Zoom meeting.)

Most people see electric vehicle adoption as a vital tool in reaching net zero carbon emissions in order to slow global warming. However, not everyone agrees. At the next Café Inquiry Online we’ll take a look at some of the criticisms directed at electric vehicles and explore their validity (or lack thereof). The Daily Mail provides this slanted but mostly factually accurate article about some of the negative aspects of EVs. This Washington Post article makes the argument that “range anxiety” is an overblown issue. Join us ONLINE for what we hope will be an informative discussion!

Café Inquiry starts with a short introduction of the day’s topic, followed by casual discussion.

This event is free and open to the public. Donations appreciated, but not expected.

Attendees are able to future propose topics which would align with Michigan Humanist’s purpose: from atheism, agnosticism, humanism, secularism, and freethinking to broader subjects in science and humanities, such as religion, philosophy, social issues, politics, evolution, morality, ethics, and psychology.

Café Inquiry (Grand Rapids) meets each month on the second and fourth Sunday.

Michigan Humanists values the participation of all guests — requests for reasonable accommodation may be made by contacting the event host at least three days prior to the event.

Michigan Humanists expects all guests to engage in respectful discussion. Critiques on views and claims based on merit are allowed, but not attacks on individuals who hold other perspectives.

Any person engaging in disruptive behavior or harassment will be asked to leave, and may be banned from future events pending the severity of the action. Please speak to the event host or contact info@michiganhumanists.org if you feel these expectations are being violated.
