Based on those metrics an EV is perfectly suited for the "average driver".
I was never disagreeing with that, but now get over the three issues I brought up on why they won't easily be convinced.
I will never buy an electric powered vehicle.

You are correct. A golf cart works for the golf course. It gets to charge up all night and putter around for a couple of hours on a 7200 YD or about 4 mile pathway. A $75K EV is not much better than a glorified golf cart and just doesn't work for most folks in Texas. Unless you are only going to drive it a few miles to work and back each day, and have a place in the garage to charge it up every night. Just because the Green Fairy says it is so does not make it such. Only the heavy hand of government can 'make' EVs attractive financially, at least somewhat. The market is not ready and the electric power grid damn sure ain't ready for millions of EVs sucking up the Kw's.
Yep. The average driver lives paycheck to paycheck. And are not ready for a house, garage, an EV and a home charging station.

Don't mind the elitists who look down their long noses at the unwashed masses.
Being able to charge at home is a limiting factor for sure, but someone living paycheck to paycheck that can charge at home might enjoy saving money on gas.

35% not being homeowners is not insignificant. Also break that down by condo vs single family where they don't park on the sidewalkTeslag said:

ETA, I did:
So with that in mind about 45-50% of the total population live in a situation where EV could even happen, much less the technology iq and fear factor.

It certainly can be. Some apartments are fine now, some aren't.

TL/DR NPR is very worried that people are no longer believing their lies about EVs.

Journalists have done a lot of work explaining those environmental harms, and the public has noticed. That's good news: Trancik, of MIT, says people should ask questions about the true environmental costs of all technology. But the mountain of research determining that EVs are still cleaner than gasoline-powered cars doesn't seem to have gotten as much traction.
Trump will fix it.

If there's a 110 outlet in the parking area then you're good.

And of those with charging, it may still be inconvenient. It's far from an insurmountable challenge though, and it's changing

I was responding to the claim that "apartment living isn't suitable to EV". That's obviously false already, and apartments with charging compatibility are becoming more common. You've taken quite a beating on your ignorance of chargers here recently, maybe stop and take a breath.
False. I'm using real examples, real supercharger data, and real metrics to support my position.
You're using emotion and old rare articles.

Not more common by any standard.

Every one of your responses is to gain some weird approval for choosing an EV.
ETA. I own a mild hybrid EV. Not a BEV. BFD.

Maybe just read my posts twice before posting a nonsense reply. I said charging compatibility is becoming more common. Thanks for 23% though I guess.

It's charging. Duh.
Maybe look up what "becoming" means. Is this real life?
Sure.GAC06 said:

He also didn't know what "rare" meant.
Yep. Per google AI.
Rare is 2,263+/- Tesla supercharger stations. 1.15% of total gas stations.
The very common gas station occurs 196,643+/- times.

What is 14 super chargers out of over 50,000 being down across the world for one day each in 6 months?
Should check your data. Your apples to oranges comparisons are ridiculous.

My gas station is always open. NBD.
And that's not even what it says. His closed data includes superchargers that have been permanently closed, not just temporarily offline.
He literally has no idea how to read the data.

So when you filter his data for US locations it shows 7 temporary closures out of 2,416 locations.
That's actually 99.7% reliability.

Sounds like teskla's chargers are too. NBD indeed
Look at you, you has a Tesla.
Has to be a troll at this point.
EVs likely contributing to Stellantis woes.
