There is one option to choose regarding EVs. Don't buy one. Right now they are a novelty and the infrastructure and charging availability is not overwhelmed. And there is no budget priced EV available.
I agree with the stats and the argument that most people don't drive more than 30, 50 miles tops per day. OK, fine. I will purchase and drive an EV that fills that bill, but only if the vehicle cost is in line with how it is used.
New EVs need to compete with used ICE beaters for transportation and minimal budget driving. Owners and buyers are capable of figuring out what works best for them.
They are missing out on the market for budget minded drivers who would be willing to go EV in lieu of ICE if the price is right. The EV industry is starting out in the wrong end of the spectrum with 100K plus models that need to be charged fewer times, but would likely be impractical for daily use.
EVs still have a long way to go to compete with and replace the convenience and economy of low-end ICE vehicles that are way more affordable.
It appears the strategy is to eliminate ICE production and drive-up the purchase price and cost of ownership and of any new or used ICE vehicle, thus forcing the purchase of highly expensive EVs for basic daily transportation. This is tyranny and should not be allowed.
Keep your ICE vehicles for as long as you can. Changing over to EV will not be cheap and once it is the only option....Hang on to your you-know-what, it's game over.
