I've never even driven an EV, they're comically far out of my price range.
All of them are expensive, and almost all of them are ugly as fuck. And the ones that I would consider even decent looking enough to drive are even more expensive than the others.
Would you buy one if they were more affordable? Personal experience I agree they are quite a lot of money to get behind the wheel of.
While we have plenty of gas stations to fill up with home charging can be another hurdle that's costly or impossible depending on the living situation.
I sure would. I'm not one of those people who scoffs at modern cars.
Environmental reasons aside, they tend to have lots of bells and whistles that cars like my 20 year old Toyota doesn't have. Parking sensors, better climate control, a multimedia system, etc.
I like my car but I'd swap it for an EV without a second thought if it was possible!
