Right now I think the use case for EVs is as a second or third car for affluent commuters who live in suburban areas and have a regular 40-60 mile daily commute. The range isnt an issue, the charging gets done slowly overnight, and for other uses there is some gas powered vehicle to fall back on.
Also saw something that said Toyota and possibly Honda are pretty far along with Hydrogen fuel cell EVs. The look like EVs but instead of batteries they have fuel cells that run in liquid hydrogen. The physics of these are much more favorable and apparently they are not like Hindenburg Zeppelins on wheels - actually quite safe.

Sounds like a FIRST car! And not just for the affluent.
Once the states tax EVs at the same cost per mile equivalent to what ICE drivers pay in gasoline taxes and end the EV subsidies ,EVs will be much less attractive.
EVs are like obamacare;a boondoggle pushed by elitists in government.
Agreed.
And it needs to park like a Roomba
