I think it's kind of funny that people draw the line when it comes to electric-powered cars.
We don't resent our electric-powered:
Lights
Air conditioner
TV
PC/laptop/tablet
Cellphone
Refrigerator
Washing Machine
Drier
Coffee pot
Dishwasher
Garage door
Cordless power tools
But when it comes to what we mostly use for commuting to work...OH NO YOU BETTER NOT!!

I am against not having a choice I don't care if someone wants to drive an EV it is their choice and I respect it. When they try to take my choice away then I am going to fight it. One of the big reasons I am against EVs is medically I cannot fly right now (another story for another time) so I need to drive. When I visit family and relatives to reunions that is 1300 miles away in the North East having an EV will increase the time to get there by a considerable amount. Recently I took my Camaro out there for my Dad's final ride and funeral got 31 mpg at best hand calculated getting 500 miles a tank. I powered on through did the trip in 18 hours.
Next big reason I live in an apartment complex we don't have chargers and myself and other renters voted against it as well as other apartments in the area due to who would pay for it. The garage where I keep the Camaro has an outlet but it is used for the opener and other things like security cameras.
Third reason Wife and I have been borrowing a truck to tow stuff with from a family friend. Eventually we will get our own soon after I pay down Medical bills. Third party sites have proven EV towing range is extremely crappy.
Fourth reason for our daily commuter I don't really care if its EV or not and our Subaru Legacy takes that slot right now since we have no chargers. For my performance (curves straight line autocross twisty roads etc) I just prefer ICE same with trucks for hauling and towing.
EDIT: Fifth reason our grid can't support it family back east has a letter from their power provider proving that for one.
