Several reasons I suspect. First is the cost. There’s only a certain segment of the population that can afford the luxury of a 50 k plus second vehicle. Second is the fact that actual range is nowhere near the advertised number particularly in very cold or very hot weather and last may be the spate of spontaneous fires that as more and more of these glorified golf carts enter service will no doubt increase. In reality EVs are not fit for purpose and people are beginning to realize it.

The physics can’t be denied. Driving against the wind, driving up hill, and towing are EV Killers. It’s all about Battery Weight. They weigh 30% more at a minimum.

We test-drove a Jeep (are leasing one now, gas-powered). The salesman seemed anxious to sell this thing, which did not have the pickup or power of our gas Jeep.
