For me (BEV formal owner, formal, since the real owner is the OEM) there are few arguments against BEV that will keep their adoption slow:
- first of all they are connected crapware on wheel, the formal human owner do not really own nothing. Oh, I have NOTHING against having GSM connectivity inside a car, but I want to control it, so instead of a crapplication bound to a crappy unreliable services hosted by the OEM I want an open API/website served by my car, directly accessible with dynamic DNS/my DNS, I do choose how to roll out updated, I read what updates do and so on. No connected commercial software should be allowed to roll. This last sentence is not a thing most people count, but they feel the crapware crappyness and they dislike and they do not trust it;
- for the material operation life (no matter if you re-sell the car quickly or not) they cost too much, oh, maybe not in China, but surely here in EU. Being built with far less parts, far less fine precision needed per part, far easier industrial assembly it's hard to justify BEV prices because of lithium or crapware costs...
- no real "new deal" integration, I do have p.v. at home, why the hell I can't buy an inverter with a simple DC out for 400V LFP car battery since I can buy 400V LFP stationary battery, DC charged from the p.v. inverter? Why wasting so much energy in a double conversion PVsideDC→CarInverterACtoDC? Why I can't use car battery to DC supply my inverter to power my home if I want so? Why only VERY recently CCS have set the first bi-direction DC standard and still no BEV implement it? Why not offer a 230Vac socket in the car, since the car have a V2L function only bound to the car charging port, witch do not allow operation when the car move (like simply powering a fridge in the car)? Most people would not use such options since most still have no PV, have no need to use 230Vac stuff in the car etc but selling them and advertising them would push people to see BEV as different beast than nice-to-drive but expensive limited range cars.
Personally I'm happy enough of my choice because WFH with PV in a mountain area the fuel economy is sound enough to buy a BEV, but well... That's not much a common scenario EVEN IF it should be, since ~30% of jobs can be done from home, and those who can have no reasons to be in a flat/apartment instead of a home. Especially to push energy efficiency in new constructions.
