That's fair.
My main point was that electric vehicles are redefining the driving experience. Automatic transmissions are now also obsolete, along with internal combustion engines, period. Driving a single electric vehicle for a day: life changing. They are the future.
I miss my MME, but if you are saying ICEs are obsolete then you haven't explored much of the country. There are huge swatches where it is impossible to charge or far more expensive to change than using gas in a hybrid.
Are you posting from 2015? Range anxiety is also obsolete. Most people charge their EVs at home over night. Way cheaper than gas. There are new charging stations popping up every day as well. I will grant that they are a ripoff, but I expect they will get cheaper.
Might be that the only ev I've driven for long was an i3, but I was not impressed by the acceleration
I just read up on that car and, yeah, it's not known for high performance or range. I was driving a Polestar 2. Nearly double the HP of an i3.
*edit over double the HP.
