That's a line of people who didn't think ahead when they purchased the electric car. Those things would be fine for running errands to a local supermarket, or for around small town driving. However... NOT for extensive highway use. If you are going more than 150 miles one way (or round trip 75-miles each way)... don't count on an electric vehicle.
Now wait when their car is 5-6 years old and has 100,000 to 120,000 miles on the battery. Those batteries only are rated to last up to 120,000 miles. The replacement batteries are about $22,000 each. At that point, when the car is only worth $12,000 max... and a new battery costs $22,000... the car is disposable. Nobody will buy it. Also, when a car is 5-6 years old, electrical problems start happening. In a normal car, that's annoying. In an all electric car, it can cause the entire car not to run.
Think ahead. If you plan to do any sort of driving other than a few miles each way... get something else.

I'm not riding in a Roman Candle.
My next door neighbor owns two Teslas.. one for him and one for his wife. I can't wait until their cars get old and they have to trash them.
