> This isn't a good comparison at all. You're looking at the set of people who looked at the operational requirements for EVs and said "yes, this works for my needs" and then looking at how those needs are met. What you would really want to do is compare the operational requirements for EVs and the general usage of motor vehicles to see what proportion of the general usage of motor vehicles can be replaced by EVs and their operational requirements. The vast majority of journeys and days overnight charging of a tesla style car is fine. The average driver 1) Spends 55 minutes a day behind the wheel 2) Drives 29 miles a day https://solarjourneyusa.com/EVdistanceAnalysis7.php https://solarjourneyusa.com/EVdistanceAnalysis7.php "93% of all vehicle-days show a total distance below 100 miles. It is important to note that only vehicle-days are included where the cars were used that day" A car with a 300 mile range covers almost all drivers for almost all uses. So you're down to whether the downsides of owning and operating a gas-fueled car outweighs the downsides of an electric car (having to hire a gas one for occasional long trips) As more and more people move to electric, there are fewer and fewer customers for gas stations, reducing the number around, and reducing the utility of a gas car even more. The costs of repair become higher, and the cost of the car in the first place will increase as economies of scale tip the other way.
