I would purchase an EV, but only for local use. I know the "It's only an hour and you have to stop anyway on long trips" crowd doesn't find it an inconvenience to wait on a long trip, but it's not time I'm willing to waste.
It also wouldn't be the vehicle I would use if we ever get Hurricane evacuation. Yes, I know "but gas can't be had either in a hurricane" or "We never get bad hurricanes around here", both of which are predicated on poor planning and lack of respect for mother nature.
There is also the green that keep pushing for unreliable solar and wind, to the point that you get edicts like in California "don't charge your EV after you get home from work" or whatever.
I think they are great for local operation and the sheer lack of maintenance. There's also that whole toxic mining of Lithium thing going on that probably shouldn't be encouraged though.
