I sometimes suspect I'll continue to drive my 20 year old gas powered vehicle until I can't buy gas anymore. Its not that I want a gas vehicle, but that the rise of EVs coincides with a complete re-thinking of the automotive model that I /really/ don't want--subscription services, touch screens, "connected". As someone that has a very difficult time managing my real life, I've reduced my periodic payments to mortgage, utilities, internet, phone, insurance. No netflix, no streaming music services, no amazon prime. And even then I frequently forget or mis-budget. I really don't want to add 100 monthly fees to do this or that.
