Why would I *possible* want *any* of today's EVs?
There are more than 100,000 commercial gas stations in the US, last I saw.. so the charging infrastructure needs built out, but more importantly the entire electrical grid needs to be upgraded in order to provide the power for a majorly electric vehicle base...
Electric is not a general case solution.. . there are use cases it fits in well and is even financially beneficial, but it is not remotely a replacement for combustion driven transportation in the general case and won’t be anytime soon.
For me, you left out the most important point of your comment. What kind of diesel sedan do you have?
“ My diesel sedan can do 810 (Interstate) miles on a full tank (I’ve done it before). It’s as comfortable as can be as it gobbles up those highway miles. When empty it can be re-fueld in about 4 minutes at any one of about 40,000 stations from coast-to-coast and border-to-border.

Do you drive 800 miles every day?
How’s that diesel’s fuel efficiency, wear & tear on daily short drives? Don’t bother, I know the answers.
An EV works as a daily commuter if your commute is a round trip of 100 miles or less. It’s going to extend the life of your diesel sedan…which you should keep for long drives.
I drive to Kansas from Texas a couple of times a year. 14 hour drive. It takes 1 and 3/4 tanks of gas. An EV just wouldn’t work especially pulling a 4,000 lb trailer.
