I was talking to someone I know well about this, she was in an EV and went back to petrol. Two factors, range anxiety and the EV was "soulless"
Everyone i know who had actually owned an EV has realized that range anxiety is largely a myth.
I've looked at a few EVs, and I do keep going "Well not yet" because of the goddamn interiors and controls. All of a sudden they don't have to worry about mechanical linkages and they can't fucking help themselves but make you shift it into drive by tonguing a clit on the ceiling.
I know your mommy didn't let you go into art school, doesn't mean you get to take your creativity out on me.
I was an early adopter, and I went back to gas. My car only had like a 30 mile range though, which was cut in half during the winter. I'd consider that new Mustang SUV though, that looks like a bad-ass vehicle.
My parents bought one of the mustangs. They are pretty conservative people who live in FL now. My pop says it is his second favorite car ever behind the 98 BMW 540i he had and they’ve owned a lot of cars. It’s wild to me that he loves this electric car so much.
By all accounts it's a fantastic vehicle. Idk why they put the Mustang name on there, which earned it a lot of scorn, when it seems like it can stand well on its own. I know I dismissed it as stupid myself because of the name, until I learned more about it.
Electric Vehicles
