First and foremost: not judging, you do you.

That’s most EVs.....

Obviously there are factors that every needs to consider.

You’ve never had a BMW oil pan - part alone was $1000.

Heavens NO - he wants to make sure everyone is SURE he’s completely WHITE. /s

I have a Mach-E for my commuter. It’s efficient, quick when I need it to be, and quiet as hell on the road.

Same here.  The EV is the commuter/chores vehicles.  Trips over 300 miles?  That’s once every two or three years.  Cheaper to rent, and not deal with costs of ownership over that period. 

“statistics show that it’s a non-issue for most owners”

True, blaming your car for being out of gas at 2am in an unfamiliar area is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.

Other things that help regular people are stability and predictability in government (assuming a government which wants the best...); both of which require long-term collaboration between the parties.

HOPE is the plan of most Americans.

“Except when I’m out of gas far from home, in a sketch part of town at 2AM”

I mean, if you don’t do any research, one could imagine that you might be correct. But the Prius, the Efficient Car Poster Boy, is well below both mean and median new car prices. So are the Accord Hybrid, Civic Hybrid, Camry Hybrid, Corolla Hybrid. All with 50+ MPG. The efficient cars are absolutely not more expensive…

Everyone that talks about how great music was back in the day, didn’t live back then. Like I grew up 70s and for every group like the Eagles, there were 10 groups like Captain Tenile, John Denver, Etc. which put crap on the radio by the bucket load.

This is a psychological issue not a practical one. You get to fill your car at home and have anywhere from 100 to 300 miles to exploit daily. Do you really think you will find yourself in a dangerous part of town after driving around for 300 miles in one day?

You think gas stations are the safe part of sketchy neighborhoods?

Conversely, 4 minutes of charging might get you out of that sketch part of town.  Also, better planning might have completely avoided your scenario.  

Weren’t you listening? Gas prices will go down because we’re going to drill for more oil. And I think Canada is going to pay for it, or something like that. Don’t get hung up to much on the details.

Maybe it’s a childhood PTSD thing, but whenever I hear anything from Peter, Paul & Mary, I feel the uncontrollable urge to throw chairs and punches.

Hey Red-Hat dipshits! Know what would be a great way to keep costs for working folks down?
