I've been interest in EVs / hybrids for years now, my last 4 cars were Hyundia. The first problem I had was that Hyundia did not sell their hybrids in Florida, and I was warned if I bought it out of state and needed servicing there might be no one in Florida to take care of it. I looked at the Tesla and even though many EVs have the middle panels it wasn't for me. This past year I did take a test drive in the ioniq5, and even though it was the 2022 car of the year I was disappointed. We all know the problems with EVs, Distance, Charging and Cost of the battery. Most of this will be dealt with sooner than you think. Toyota claims they will be able to mass produce solid state batteries by 2027, that would mean longer range, faster charging, longer battery life and supposedly cheaper to produce. I believe the goal will be reach before then. Not to save the earth, but simply EVs will be less expensive to manufacture once those 3 hurtles are addressed.
