I expect the EV apologists to show up here soon touting the wonderfulness of plugging in your car every night.
Not an “EV apologist”, ( I’m single and own 3 ICE cars ;-), but a lot of people wouldn’t have to plug them in”every night”.
I have an electric vehicle on order. Ford Mach E SUV.
Why?
Unless I get “Bidened” with a tax law change I will get both the $7,500 tax credit and (because I own a business) can write off the price of the vehicle in one year. My commute is a 10 minute drive. I can charge it at home overnight cheaply. And it is car #4. By my using the EV for short driving purposes, which are the hardest on ICE vehicles, I can extend the lifespan of my other vehicles. Plus, the financing deal offered by Ford will give me the opportunity to turn it back in to them after 3 years which ends my worries about battery life.
I am working the insane system that exists to my advantage as much as I can.
