Maybe EVs are coming, but since 95 percent of new cars being sold are gasoline cars that are designed to last 20 years or more, I think it will be a long time before electric vehicles are the standard.

Design Your Model 3 | Tesla
Think again Tesla model 3 starts at 40,390. A ice vehicle may last 20 years maybe if you drive 15k miles a year and baby it? And what are the odds that you won’t have major repairs and that’s not counting annual maintenance oil changes brakes etc.in 20 years and you hardly use the brakes on a ev , 1 pedal driving.
Tesla has proved many times the batteries can go over 1 million miles and still charge to 95%. Do EVs have bugs to work out absolutely what OEMS don’t? The range keeps going up every year.
I’ve had a ev for almost 2 years now and love driving it every day. Would I buy another one in a heartbeat! Who drives more than 50 miles a day? Not too many Villagers. You can charge to 300 miles and if you go on a road trip and your in such a rush that you don’t want to take a break every 3-4 hours to charge then don’t buy one.
Go test drive a Tesla and you may change your mind unless your mind is already made up and you don’t like EVs anyway.
