I would have thought the disruptive events that have made national news over the last twenty years -- including 9/11, the massive 2003 blackout in the Northeast, destructive hurricanes, blizzards, wildfires, the infamous Texas cold snap this past spring, etc. -- would make people very, very hesitant about buying a vehicle that is completely useless under many unusual conditions.

I think the biggest flaw with EVs is that they are ideally suited for applications where a golf cart would probably do just fine -- i.e., they don't travel more than a few miles from home, they return to a predictable charging location regularly, and they usually carry a maximum of 3-4 people with almost no cargo weight.

You’re never going to see me buy an EV. Too risky if things go sideways.

Golf carts are all over many of the small towns around me since the communities changed the local statutes to allow them on city streets

It’s become a big business around here. Some of the custom ones are really cool

Can’t say I’ve ever seen one I’ve been around that is electric though
