E -cars will always be a boutique vehicle for the warm beautiful Southern California climate. An electric car would be a death trap in North Dakota on a -30 deg. F day. Not practical.
I view EVs as best suited for commuting and in-town driving, in Los Angeles area with its creepy crawly rush hour roadways basically ideal, and not because of air quailty. As one of the videos pointed out, if taking a vacation by car, owners of EVs and only EVs might consider a rental (which isn't a bad choice for vacations anyway, particularly to Mexico) and alleviates range anxiety.
In cold climates EV range is reduced due to battery efficiency, but I've had occasion to have my car not start because the 12 volt battery in my gasoline vehicle suffered a similar fate, and insufficient juice was available, had to take a cab to work. When I got home it still wouldn't go (this was the coldest day I've ever experienced here in Michigan, -30 F, circa 1984), not a chirp, not a peep, nothing.
So I tried an old trick I remembered, and turned on the headlights for a few minutes. The drain was enough to generate heat in the battery and free up frozen capacity, allowing me to start the car (sounds backwards, but it works). My roommate at the time had never heard of this, was standing right there, his Camaro was also doornailed nearby, and when he heard my car start right up, he had a shocked look, then went over and tried it, and it worked for him as well.
Like anything else, EVs are not necessarily the best choice for everyone. :^)
