I wouldn’t say “soured” so much as the market for EV Virtue-Signalers got saturated. They are handy for daily drivers in your suburban market, but not practical for long trips. Our son-in-law bought a used Chevy Volt and likes it. He works for PG&E and gets to charge it at work, so it’s always topped-off. Then he charges it at home on weekends using their solar array on the roof.

Electric Golf Carts have been very successful for decades.

“They are handy for daily drivers in your suburban market”

not in the rocky mountain states though: brutally cold winters and blazing summers massively reduce range if one wants to stay comfortable ... so, around here, EVs go into hibernation when winter sets in and take 24x7 siestas throughout the summer months ... they only come out on the roads during moderate weather months ...
