Sorry but NO. I have choose an BEV for a simple set of reasons: - WFH in a zone with p.v. is a reasonable choice, I live in a home and I have p.v. so at least partially I can recharge from my own energy when the Sun shine, beside that I can still recharge at home from the grid, meaning no needs to go somewhere just to give juice to my car; - state incentives that coupled with less energy expenses to travel almost put the TCO of my car on par with a equivalent new ICE; - some "small bonuses" like here and there free parking in paying areas of various cities, access to "emission free" or "limited circulation" zones of some cities, a pleasure to drive, option to activate A/C from remote without polluting other parked cars nearby, similarly keeping the A/C on in case of a long traffic jam and so on. The point though is that for what I get a BEV is absurdly high priced. It's reasonable price should be LESS than an ICE counterpart, because there is far less inside, less fine machining to build the parts, less to assembly them, less for me in range terms, less in MTBF and so on. I've choose and entry level Chinese EV (MG ZS long range 2022) because of that. The crappy crapware on board is not much more crappy than the crapware on board of any new vehicle, and all of new connected crapware on wheel are a national security and a personal security threat, I chose to accept that simply because ALL car's now are such a nightmare. The rest is just an economy will by some to remove the ability to own a personal transportation mean to the masses, and still retaining the ability to remotely lock those who can still afford one. Most people are not Citizens and attentive enough to IMPOSE by public will in furor to end such practice, but still smart enough to understand the crappyness and their side implications so they simply choose to stick with old vehicles as much as they can. That's is. Is not a rate toward glorified golf cart, that's the OEM will, it's not about range anxiety (instead about knowing that the large battery you have the less charging cycle you do in a timeframe, so the long it last) witch is STILL just sufficient for most use cases, not more than enough since sometimes it's cold, we are in hurry and on steep roads where a 450km WLTP range became a ~200km real range. That's just PR bullshit to sell chairs with wheel to be sold in dense cities just to move few km per day, ignoring the fact that such model is economically untenable.
