Service? You’d better hope you won’t need any. Dealers of the major brands will give you a quick “no”. The independent repair guys may not be able to get parts.
The tire issue? If you play golf it’ll cost you several hundred dollars to replace them.
Enough said??

Well, not everyone plays golf. And dealers will come around to EVs in the near future. They have a tendency to like to make money. And battery technology will NOT STOP pushing forward, so range and cost will go from liability to a positive. Look at E-automobiles, they already can drive a person further than a Senior's old bones want to be behind the wheel. In the future, they will have more range. And what is so wonderful about a gas engine vehicle at $3.30 per gal ?
