The C8 E-Ray is incredibly high on my list to the point where the Z06 isn't really a concern for me at all.
The exhaust note is part of the driving experience, sure but, it's only a part of it. I don't directly associate my satisfaction with a vehicle with the number of cylinders it has, it's exhaust note, or how many inches I think it adds to my manhood by having a particular engine in it. Driving, to me, is a dynamic experience and if only one portion of that changes but the rest of the vehicle is engaging to drive, I'm all in.

Most of the people on these forums can afford them. The reality is most of the people in the world cannot.
If you can afford to heavily modify your camaro you are not in the same trenches as the rest of the people.
$40,000+ is not affordable for about 75% of the U.S.
So no its not that far fetched to say MOST people won't buy an EV not because they don't want to because they simply cannot afford one.
I haven't bought a brand new car ever in my life. Do I make ok money yes, but I don't make enough to drop $10,000 in upgrades on my car. Much less can I afford to buy a $40,000+ EV either.
It's all about what is practical and what isn't. EV"s won't be practical within the next 5-10 years for most people. The infrastructure simply doesn't support them let alone cost to own one.
