All 7 reasons are sticky personal preferences.
All 7 don’t mean a thing to lots of other folks.
For us, it would be a wonderful addition, certainly an ‘extra” vehicle. The prices are still a bit more than I can justify, right now, but that’s changing.
The whole electric infrastructure isn’t there yet. Lots of stuff is in place, but the overall convenience isn’t there yet, not yet but getting there.
We are still in the Early Adopters phase. Remember big flat panel TV’s at $10,000? or $600 car phones?
Once we get to efficient Nuke Energy, the cost to charge will nearly vanish, like “long distance” toll charges on your phone.
A Tesla is not for the OP, but it’s a dream solution for so many others.
How about “All of the Above”?
Want one? Buy one. But stop the subsidies, Stop ‘em, for Petroleum too. Let an Open and Fair Market work it’s magic.
BWHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahaha!!!
The communist types that want to shove electric vehicles up our collective tuchus are adamantly opposed to nuclear ANYTHING.
Hypothetically true, but not likely given the current world political environment. I'd love to be an optimist. Long after I'm gone, there may be more efficient nuke power and maybe even fusion, plus super efficient capture of solar power from space. For now I can just read about it in SciFi novels and Michio Kaku books.
Large-screen TVs and car phones utilized the same technology as other TVs and phones; there was no mandate to buy them. You could still make calls from other phones and just as easily watch TV on a 36" screen, if needed.
An EV car is an entirely new technology that's being pushed on people in an effort to control them. Personal mobility is a way to exercise freedom and we are heading to a future where there will be haves and have-nots of EVs because of their cost.
If you can't afford an EV, you'll be subject to whatever mass-transit is available. Like living in suburbia? Too bad, move to where mass transit is found.
I expect to see a lot of them stuck on rural roads here in CT during the winter—with no Internet service—the drivers crying for help on the side of the road—unless they are locked in the vehicle—where nobody can hear you scream.
“Once we get to efficient Nuke Energy”
I won’t live that long. Neither will you. And the people pushing “GREEN!” absolutely hate “NUKES”!
