Average Joe is skeptical about electric cars - until they actually try driving one for the first time. Then Average Joe actually wants one but can't justify the price premium when compared to an ICE.
- bdcravens 3y agoPretty much everyone who has driven mine (Kia EV6) or my wife's (VW ID.4) says they are pleasantly surprised when driving. Personal computers, laptops, cell phones, smartphones, etc all have gone through the cycle of being expensive for early adopters but mainstream in due time, and I suspect EVs will have a similar lifecycle.
- JoBrad 3y agoKia and Hyundai have done an excellent job with the design of their newer cars. However they’ve done an incredibly poor job with vehicle security. My wife is an insurance broker, and several of the bigger insurance companies will not even insure those brands, for newer models, because theft is out of control. Too bad, because I really like their look.
- bdcravens 3y agoAs I understand it, those issues don't apply to their EVs, as there's no traditional ignition, and they are keyless.
- emodendroket 3y agoI think you’re right but I would be too worried that not-too-sophisticated would-be thieves figure that out after smashing your windows.
- JoBrad 3y agoThat’s correct. I didn’t know the EV vehicles were only keyless.
