I’m not rich, but at one time me and my wife had a daily driver, a truck, a mini-van, a company car and a convertible. As well as a car I bought for my son.

You touched on something that IMHO ironically is liable to make an EV more practical for conservatives than liberals. Basically, more of us conservatives are married and need 2 cars anyway. My wife and I put most of our miles in our EV and it works well for us for almost all of our driving needs.

But I wouldn't have bought an EV unless I was married and need 2 cars anyway (in our case: one EV car and one ICE pickup). Since we need 2 cars anyway we can have an EV with the benefits it brings to the table, but also have an ICE car for the times an EV won't do. A single person (or family that needs just 1 car) trying to use an EV would have the frustration of the weaknesses of EV's.

I’m retired now, but if I still worked, I’d probably buy an EV.

1. I worked 55 miles from home.
2. My employer provided free charging stations. I wouldn’t even need to upgrade to a fast charger at home.
