The only logical choice. Some people particularly in the Midwest and South won’t switch until they absolutely have to, TCO be damned.
It's sad how green energy has become part of the culture wars, especially given many of the states most impacted by climate change (Florida, Texas) could benefit the most. They also have vast possibilities in green power.
Given EV’s should have price parity with ICE by 2025-2027, I think its obvious that EV adoption should accelerate. Unless you are purchasing a very cheap sub-$20k car, EV’s should become the only choice by 2030. https://insideevs.com/news/506465/evs-price-parity-europe-20...
"Many of us don’t need detailed analysis to understand this. We can see it on our neighborhood streets" I live in an apartment complex. Zero EVs. I suppose you are correct; I never considered myself as part of the "Many of us" moniker.
I love the idea of an EV, but I hate how unfriendly they are towards self-repair and I don't want my car connected to the internet. Also an EV has more battery capacity than my house so it'd be pretty hard to charge a car in the winter when I can barely keep my house batteries running my house.

So instead we're putting ourselves on the waiting list for a RAV4 Prime. We'll still reap most of the benefits of plugging in, but the price is much more palatable for what you get.

It’s not a big stretch to imagine that generations of younger people concerned about the climate might make product consumption choices that draw a clear line between themselves and their ICE-driving parents.
