- 0xffff2 10y agoI think you're right, but that change in behavior will come (if it comes at all) with self-driving technology, which is entirely orthogonal to EV's.
- gist 10y agoHonestly this is a city/urban thing. It's simply not something that on a large scale people who live in the suburbs on in the country will want to do. My vehicle sits practically outside my door at work and in the garage at home. I like the fact that I can go spur of the minute anytime anywhere and don't have to summon the vehicle or do any planning.
