You are right unfortunately. With the advent of EVs, it will (destroy) alter the car culture as we once knew it. No more true muscle cars, or even cars with style and grace. No more acceleration sounds, or room for an (entire family).

However, I do not see myself buying an EV. The EVs are still behind somewhat in terms of convenience and usability. As long as there are Hondas or Toyota or the Big 3 pick-ups available, then that is what's left of my car culture that I will patronize. It isn't that I am against change, but change should be meaningful and offer improvement while maintaining the assets that I find valuable in a product.

EVs (and other alternatives) would have to improve to an extent where I can re-charge or re-fuel anywhere, pick up and go anywhere in the country without worrying where to re-energize, and have room for passengers and luggage. As it stands, it looks like EVs still have a long way to go to develop into livable transportation alternatives. EVs should also be affordable. I don't want to spend a limb for an ev if it doesn't offer a fraction of what a desirable automobile offers.
