Kind of like how (to el ess a's point), all the hype/propaganda that is shoved in our faces around EV's deliberately leaves out the limitations and negatives of EVs? And that type of downside information is almost impossible to find unless you go digging for it?
Ranges are exaggerated. Insurance is nuts. A scratch/dent can total it. Free ride on electric rates and highway taxes will not last. Registrations can already be very high. Excess weight. Tire wear. Road wear. Fast charging is only valid for about 60% of your total capacity and is detrimental. Poor performance in cold climates. Rapid initial depreciation/poor resale value. ...among other things.
People need to go into this fully informed, even though they won't have a choice in the end. EV's may have a role in the future, but as it stands they are not the answer to everything they are portrayed as.
