May be EV’s are a women’s thing. Both my daughters drive EV’s (both Chevy’s) and love driving around town and daily commute to work. The cars run quieter, can charge at home, no need to stop at gas stations, no tune-ups, no changing oil & filter. Women do not enjoy doing those things. I did my own oil changes for 55 years. Now I just drive into 10-minute oil change place.

Yeah, I think the one thing they are good for is a “short trip car. I have four cars, each for a specific purpose. I also live in the sticks and town is 9 miles away. I also have 32 acres and I’m retired. I could just plug in and use the electric for trips to town every few days.

I’d love an electric “side by side” for getting around my property, or an electric car for going to town. But both are WAY too expensive.

BTW, rather than replacing our aging “good” car, we’re thinking of just renting a car for long trips, which we do four or five times a year. And yeah, it would be ICE powered, for obvious reasons.
