I bought an EV, and I have to hear questions, jokes etc at first. THey died down as all of those people have car repair issues, or engine failures (new truck), etc.
Then I’m bombarded with commericals on tv for car repair. Ads in the mail for fluid changes, etc.
It’s so clear and blunt that it’s like asking for stats to show that the summer is hotter than the winter.
my apartment put in chargers, the whole chain did. I see more and more everyday and I live in what’s supposed to be the 2nd worst state for electric cars.
If you are relying on fast charging, I would consider how often you will do it, like how many miles you fix to go. This way you can plan out when you want to charge, or if you are lucky, they will be at a supermarket, target, or walmart. Spend a half hour a week getting groceries and charge at once. Now you are only making one trip, while gassers are doing 2.
It could cost me 9x more to power an electric than a manual (my term for backwards gas vehicles where you have to drive around and look for fuel like 1890).
I’d still drive the EV. This theory about the elasticity of demand being based off a 30 cent gain or drop in gasoline prices is 20 years too old and outmoded.
