I’ve been a big fan of Evie’s for many years, for certain applications. Actually, there are only two applications that I can think of. The first is someone who lives in an urban area and need something to just go a few miles everyday. That could even include young people living in an apartment that just need some sort of a alternative to the bus or a bicycle on rainy days. And the other group is Rich guys that just want to be able to say look at this cool electric car I have. Of course that’s their second fourth or 20th car. Not their main car. But ultimately they’re all just glorified golf carts. And for urban use, that’s really all you need.
Most urban vehicle owners couldn't own an electric vehicle. They live in apartments and park on the street (with a few parking in garages). Plugging in the vehicle overnight on the street would be a logistics nightmare.
The city guy who only drives a couple miles a day can drive a 78 Impala for all it matters. If you never drive, why bother with a $50,000 car?
There’s really no scenario where current EV’s make any economic sense.
