Born and raised in a remote area, I live and operate a business in one-EV’s will work for city transportation-short range-but the distances are too great to make EVs cost effective here or a lot of rural/agricultural areas-county land use rules do not support development of charging stations-or any extensive commercial use of land in an area of small farm/ranch agriculture-our electricity is provided by a rural co-op, water is protected as a resource, and many of us live off-grid by choice, gone Galt...
A few people who commute about 50 miles to the city for work have bought EVs over the past 2-3 years-but only 2 still own one-the others were sold-owners found them to be too expensive to keep up, and not all that reliable for commuting-so back to the 4x4 Pickup or SUV that is standard here...
In Georgia.
You can't drive a car in GA in the rain without having the AC/DEF on. You can't, unless you're a masochist, or trying to prove a point, drive a car in GA in the summer, without AC. I don't want 2 or 3 cars. I want one that does everything I might need it to do.
I'm not a bleeding edge early adopter. Either EV technology will advance to the point that it has all the advantages, or it won't. Consumer choice is a freedom-based value. Posters who seem to have a problem with that are trolls.
