EV’s are fine; if used as intended. You have to live in an urban area. You have to only take them on short trips. You should keep them charged @ 80% at all times.
Yep, and forget about towing and such.
I respectfully disagree. In order for the gas savings of an EV to make sense and offset the costs of an EV, you have to drive it enough miles each year. With Alabama's gas and power prices I estimate that to be about 12K or so miles per year. If we go back to year 2019 prices (think Trump before covid) it's about 15K or so miles per year.
Those of us who live in quasi-rural/suburban areas and drive a lot just to go to the store and certainly to go to town and back are the ones most liable to drive enough miles for an EV to be practical. Then there's the matter of being able to charge at home (many people in urban areas can't because they live in apartments or, even if they live in houses they often have to park in the street).
