Meh. What makes me scratch my head about any EV is the sheer cost of the power. I heard that it took about $40 to fill up the battery at a fast charge station and then the car only went 250-300 miles and another $40 had to go into the "tank". Then the cost of the vehicle itself is over my ability to pay. The cars are very quick off the line, probably have a good ride, and seem nice, but not at that kind of pocket book lightening. But if folks want to purchase on and deal with the financial aggrivations, good for them. It's just not my cup of tea.
EV idiocy: The cost of the car, the cost of replacing the battery, the cost of replacing the tires, the effect of heavier tires on roads, the environmental effects of the disposal of a car-sized battery, spontaneous combustion of the car, lack of charging stations, limited mobility… but we’re saving the planet!?
