The approach to EV’s has been so wrong. I love EV’s in theory. The reality is they should be much cheaper with limited bells and whistles, along with a range of about 90 miles. In this way, they can just be an extra car for driving around town as 95% of daily driving is less than 80 miles.
That is what we did with ours until I sold it a couple of years ago - a 2015 Nissan Leaf that I put almost 85,000 miles on over 8 years.
They are best as just one of your cars.
Unfortunately, they keep approaching it like a replacement for ICE vehicles and gear them as “luxury”. The insane focus on unnecessary range increases has completely flipped the way EV’s should fit into the market on its head.
The technology is still in its infancy, and there will undoubtedly be newer advancements that will extend range and reduce charge times. Whether or not the major car companies can survive until those come on line is another question. For now, Hybrids are the way to go................
No one wants EVs with a range under 200 miles. Plug in Hybrids aren't much much better. In 2025 California sold 350K EVs with a range of +200 miles. They only sold 2.4K EV's with a range of less than 200 miles. Plug in Hybrid sales sales came in a 57K.
