Just make them as cheap and reliable as the dinosaur guzzlers and I'll happily buy and drive one. Especially if you can get that second hand.
The weird part is an electric motor is innately way more reliable than an internal combusion engine, its 1 moving part versus hundreds. No idea how EV makers are fucking up so badly on the reliablity front.
I like the idea of an EV but honestly I barely drive, and when I do I lament the poor infrastructure of my country.
Not going to get much cheaper.
Toyota is correct. BEV, PHEV, and ICE will all be in our future until at a bare minimum charging it's figured out. Prices need to come down as well.
I go on road trips for vacation. like 700+ miles in the day road trips. I wouldn't consider an ev right now because I have range anxiety and charging stations aren't as ubiquitous in the rural areas. if you stuck charge stations at every rest area on the interstates (the ones some states haven't closed yet), I dunno maybe but there are still big stretches of land out there that aren't close to an interstate let alone a rest area.
give me an ev that can go 700 miles in 12 hours and I might consider it.
If anything, all the right-wing idiots that say "they all catch fire" or "EV's are for gays" make me want one even more. They're basically doing all the marketing for the EV companies - all someone needs to do is release a solid, affordable EV.
