Why not go one step better and eliminate the time spent at the gas station altogether? Personally, I would only recommend an EV to someone who had a place to plug it in overnight. Then you just totally eliminate the gas station. So all those times that you are at the gas station spending 5 minutes to top off, I’m driving right by without a care in the world.

The guys at Throttle House would tend to disagree with you. This 4 year old video has a Tesla Model 3 Performance competing with an Audi RS3 and a BMW M2 Comp, same day, same driver, same track. Did quite well actually.

It’s very likely that EVs don’t do what YOU need them to do…yet. And for that reason you should not buy one. And you’ll have that choice for a long time to come. Options will be fewer and fewer as time goes on, but more because of OEMs changing their portfolios to be more competitive and profitable, not so much because of government. Most of the OEMs that made strong commitments to EV portfolios did so in 2018 and 2019. That was before the current administration.
