I still think that BEVs are going to be nothing more than a subsidies propelled niche product. Only one who REALLY wants BEVs to happen are OEM manufactures who invested lot of money into chasing castles in the sky, without actually thinking if people are going to buy more expensive car with lower convenience of use than general ICE.
And I am saying that as owner of Skoda Enyaq.
