The entire EV business model:

Produce a product that only the rich can afford as their toy, paid for by all tax payers through subsidies AND rotate the not covered cost losses on to ICE car prices they produce (so common folks get to pay by a second method), for a product that is far less efficient and useful to the average customer, that is disposable as soon as the primary power source fails due to replacement costs, that insurance companies will not insure if they are parked in a garage (due to fire hazard), That destroys roads and tires because of the weight, threatens bridges and parking garages for the same reason, that cost equal or more to “refuel” causing charge anxiety and requires the owner to design all travel plans around sacrificing many hours or days just to “refuel” on any long trip and BTW the manufacturing causes more harm to the environment than any ICE car.

Just for starters.

Plenty reasons here to NOT consider owning an EV. Admittedly, I had not even considered the partial cost of an EV being passed on to the normal vehicle line. So now I guess you can know that new ICE vehicle you bought is TRULY overpriced.
