How about we talk something positive about places we live? Not the doom and gloom of CoL crisis but something good and worth talking about

I'm sure the technology will improve rapidly though.

I wouldn't buy one. Leasing seems to be the way to go for EVs.

Yeah you basically have to dedicate it to city commute solely. Plus, once the battery starts to fade, what do you do then? Scrap it? I know this is a problem now with a lot of the first gen Nissan Leafs.

Even if there were an affordable EV station wagon, its range would be less than 200km if it were fully loaded, with a trailer and a box on top.

That's the other thing with EVs. Their utility is severely limited. I have driven station wagons for all my life because of festivals.

I'll end up driving a $2000-3000 used cheap 4 cylinder car that gets 50mpg.
