That and they are starting extra EV taxes to remove any economic advantage. That will help.

No one wants them. They are being shoved down our throats. We cannot afford them or their fuel.

As a second vehicle, I’d like a Tesla pickup. Not if I had to drive it a long way.

That Biden fellow caused lithium prices to rise seven-fold since his election:

The Biden seven-fold lithium price rise impacts electric vehicle buyers world-wide, not just in the USA.

Rechargeable power tools with lithium batteries have shot up in price.

They need to make sure only electric vehicles can be used in Northern Virginia and DC.

Yes, I would.

I plan to have an offgrid place with a stream to generate power.

An old Leaf or something would be nice, but I would never give up my current fleet, the red barchetta especially

Again, what is the “problem” EVs are trying to solve?

I’m guessing no one on I-95 the other day was yearning for an electric car.

Chrysler is going all electric in the next six years.

Who here is planning on buying a Chrysler EV?

LOL!

I’m guessing that anyone stuck in the snow on I-95 last week in an EV is having second thoughts.

The survey pretty much says what people already know, which is that as of today electric cars have limited uses. It also states the obvious - if electric cars worked as well as vehicles with fuel based engines and cost the same to buy and maintain people would buy them.

Whoever paid for the survey shouldn't have wasted their money.

In Texas, EVs have to pay road use taxes to replace the built in road used taxes in gasoline.

I expect that in the future, out of state EVs will have to stop at the Chicken Coups (scale houses) when entering/exiting another state to be sure the road use taxes are paid.

Deloitte used to be Deloitte and Touche.

I guess they got sick of being called Toilet and Douche.
