I'm a fan of EV technology, I'm as green as they come and love nature, our lungs, and believe in climate change and the need to pull the planet back from that.

I'm a fan of EV technology, I'm as green as they come and love nature, our lungs, and believe in climate change and the need to pull the planet back from that.
And I have absolutely no intention of buying an EV.
My balance is to run older cars, much less. I commute to work by train, I walk to the supermarkets and back, I cycle sometimes.
For longer distances, I might bust out our 2005 5 door Toyota ... for fun, I'll roll out a 69 Bug at the weekend ... I have some other classics in mind.
I got excited about EV's, Tesla, etc about 10 years ago ... and the passion has absolutely fizzled out.
I've spent time with a few and they're boring computers (and I love computers). I firmly believe that maintaing older cars and using them less is much better for the enviroment overall. AND, importantly, I still enjoy the hell out of my cars.
The only EV I got mildly excited about, recently, for looks was the ioniq 5 ... that looks pretty badasss ... but even that has faded. All the rest look like something I'd ride to the airport. They almost all have the design language of a taxi-cab.
I'm not sure what EV companies can do to reach me. But add me to the list of fewer people buying electric cars.
