yup. i love my EV but my dream would be a hatchback EV. fucking US car manufacturers have brainwashed everyone to think they need an EV of some sort. yay rugged individualism.
I think Americans in rural areas (and really really spread out suburban areas) need them due to lackluster infrastructure. (Yes there are better fixes but they take more time.)
I also wouldn't be shocked if the convenience added to even rural Europeans might be worth it, though anyone in a city is just silly for owning a car.
For everyone else, if you count ebikes/mopeds/rickshaws, everyone having some sort of EV isn't too crazy.
Love my 14-year-old civic but I hope that by the time it dies my BBSHD equipped bike is enough.
