On top of all that......EVs usually carry a higher insurance premium....and in some states in the US, now have an additional annual tax to pay on them, since road tax isnt included in the electricity.

I will continue to drive internal combustion until gas stations cease to exist. I ABSOLUTELY REFUSE to take on negative equity on an EV that has poor range, takes twenty minutes to charge, with non-existent charging networks in rural Canada. The technology just where it needs to be, we are decades off.

My wife just got a 22 Dodge Charger GT (Her dream car)two days ago, she's happy. No need to go EV yet. My 2011 XF still serves it purpose.

Test in Norway in a box at -42°C recently showed that the problem with EVs was the 12 volt lead acid battery! In two out of five cars (BMW and Renault) there were no problems because they have heated 12 V battery. One car didn't start up at all because the voltage was beneath a certain limit. Two of the cars died after 5-10 minutes. This means, you have to know what you buy if you intend to drive at temperatures around -40°C! ICE engine cars don't start "better" with a not perfect battery! Maybe the engine fires up, but can you be sure that nothing breaks? In that case you have to dig very deep in your pocket. It's much cheaper to use one or two vacation days. In the Nordic countries we have 25-30 days. In many "big" cities and city centres ICE vehicles will be prohibited, then you need the right drivetrain! Then I don't think most people think about to save the planet. Most people think of convenient and hassle free vehicles. A Swedish shop repairing Teslas in Stockholm says that people should have a service every 50,000 km on their Teslas. In Norway about 90 % of the customers buy EV, and i.e. VW will stopp selling ICE cars in Norway (or maybe they have already stopped, I'm not quite sure). The trend is clear, this is only the beginning.

Well. The EVs are not reliable enough. The gas powered and diesel powered vehicles needed. Even the Toyotas are still making the Hybrids. The hybrids are still need on the game. Like Toyota Crown those one of the excellent vehicles in the world. And Lexus RX 2.4 hybrids. Because the EVs and Elon smoker falls off on the seat cause the EV sells went downhill. Also Teslas are known for their worst quality interior and it fall apart. Nobody needs a BMW electric car. Nobody needs a Mercedes Benz Electric Car. Nobody needs a Lexus or Toyota Electric car (I mean a pure electric car) stick with gasoline powered cars or trucks and change the oil and ended the Story
