EVs are going to take a while before they get more mainstream adoption. I live in a big European city, and I don’t have any way of charging from my “townhouse” electricity despite producing surplus with my solar panels. This is because I don’t have a dedicated front yard to park my car. No way to charge. If I compare the public fast EV chargers to gas stations, atleast in the Netherlands, the prices come out pretty much same vs gas. So, as a customer, I’d have to choose to pay more upfront to get an EV with the inconvenience of range anxiety only so that I can feel better about the environment. On the other hand, it is rather maddening to know that I’m a fractional drop in the bucket while large industrial emitters go about Scot free warming up the planet anyway.
When it gets economical to own an EV, I will switch despite a little inconvenience. Not for green washing reasons.
