EVs are not for me. Since they are not yet ready for prime time yet, I will stick to the new car I purchased this year. My car will likely last me the rest of my life. So, why should I consider the expense of purchasing a 'lectric car? The tax break will give me absolutely nothing. The added expense to upgrade my electricity in my home would not be worth the hassle. By the time EVs are practical, I likely won't be driving, if alive at all. I have no problem with anyone that wishes to purchase one. Go for it. Great idea; novel idea. I have no intention on driving long distance, so that issue is not an issue for me. Right now, I don't trust the idea of charging LITHIUM in my garage but since I don't plan on owning an EV it's not an issue either. I would trade my battery powered golf cart for a fossil burner in a heartbeat. One of the reason I don't use it is because the batteries only get me so far, whereas a gas powered will get me five times as far on a tank of gasoline. Sure, it's an older model golf cart. I have no plan to purchase a new golf cart that costs as much as a car.
I'll stick to the fossil fuel burner, so NO I do not plan to purchase a battery powered car in the future. The air is cleaner now than when I was a kid, so I do not concern myself with pollution caused by my car. I have much more problems with pollution cause by all the pollen as a result of everyone constantly planting gardens that produce that irritant.
