I think most of those who own E cars...........do it because it is a trend, a style, showing off etc..........but I will say I just had a long (15/20 minute) talk with a guy who owns an E car and he says he loves it.........and he got $8000 back (taken off) from govt rebates............I still think the govt is shoving them down our throat however.............not convinced yet.......and NO the grid can not support all electric....IMO

If I wanted one , I am not sure how far it is to a charging station, 50 miles at least

this is about the so-called green economy which is another way of running a green scam or green washing. people are being duped into buying this.

these electric cars aren't very practical to start with.

these cars have a range of 200 to 300 miles. they're good for driving around the city, but terrible for driving to another city or further.

winter driving is going to suck. mileage gets halved. the heater will eat up that energy.

charging is going to take up about 30 minutes to an hour depending on the type of charger and service and battery type. there are fast chargers that do go up to 15 minutes; a little bit better I guess. I think you'll find those on high end luxury EVs.

If you want an EV, by all means buy one.

I enjoy driving by charging stations in 100+ degree weather watching people sweltering with their doors open. Lol
