I would not be surprised to find out how great they are to drive - except when you’re stuck somewhere either waiting to recharge or trying to find a place to recharge. As regards using them as a commuter, great - but it’s a very expensive commuter and as seen during the Texas snowstorms can be extremely expensive to recharge. Again, I’m saying the logistics aren’t in place and the technology is not mature enough for large parts of the country.
Will it get better? Sure, but the government mandating them is not the answer because then there’s no real incentive to improve them to the point where they have the same utility as ICE vehicles.
Driving a EV is like driving an ICE car with the needle almost on ‘E’.
That makes me wonder how do you recharge in thunderstorms or snowstorms? How about charging an EV during periods of civil unrest?
