Good one!
Aside from the fact EV's are more expensive even with the subsidies and make little sense for that reason (more dollars, less utility) I wouldn't buy one for just one reason.
I don't want to have to charge a EV in my attached garage while I sleep at night. When just a couple of those many thousands of individual cells decide to short out and start a fire there is no stopping it, you are going to lose your house, maybe your dog and your family.
Crazy that GM started telling Bolt owners to park at least 50 feet away from structures after they burned down a couple of houses. I know some apartment buildings with underground lots won't let Ev's in them. Read an article that a fire chief says 200 gallons to put out a regular car fire, for a EV 20,000 gallons might not do it and then they start back up hours later.
