The moment you try an EV for more than the 5 minutes test drive, you realize that there’s no going back. Even with its “drawbacks”, it’s far superior to ICE vehicles. I haven’t met anyone yet that said “I’ll go back to gas because I don’t like my EV”.
I like classic cars. Owning an EV made me realise I never cared what gets them moving, I just hate modern cars. I wish I could retrofit a Citroen CX with absurdly powerful electric motors and a decent battery.

I’ve met one once, but his usecase was pretty wild so I kinda understand him.
It’s all contrarianism. Arguments and experiences don’t matter to those who are loud (influencing the quiet, the undecided, the nostalgic).
Privacy.
Once you realize they’re watching you in the cameras and recoding you with the microphones and your GPS locations and selling that data…
This is increasingly the same with ICE vehicles when active, though.
Yes. But I can’t buy an old used EV that’s not a surveillance capsule.
