For the VAST majority of people, a car is just a large expensive appliance to keep outside. It is a simple tool, to get in and be transported to where you want to go, when you want to go. They what it to start and stop and get them to the destination.
If I was in a big city commute for 30 minutes to an hour each way (shudder) an EV is perfect. That simply does not fit my lifestyle. I own two cars, the 911 is pure big boy toy, and I love it. The other is my get around town at any time transportation. Both have been paid for for multiple decades, and can be repaired and maintained for just a fraction of the cost of a new car payment.
In Oklahoma we produce lots of hydrocarbons locally. Our state will be one of the last to bow to the pressure from the feds to stop selling gasoline. I feel sure it will not be a problem in my lifetime.
I honestly see no point in my future where I will own an electric vehicle. My old cars are a big part of my hobbies. This weekend I have three PCA events to go to. A social event, a car show, and an autocross.
I just ordered new carpet for my EL Camino. Every 20 years I have to replace the carpet as it just wears out. Still way less than a car payment and is a cost of fractions of a cent per mile.
