That's the other thing with EVs. Their utility is severely limited. I have driven station wagons for all my life because of festivals.

I'll end up driving a $2000-3000 used cheap 4 cylinder car that gets 50mpg.

I love driving too, and I travel lots of my racing (Just did 2500km this weekend). I just bought a van to dedicate for that. An EV would make sense for me as my daily driver but the initial cost is too high.

What's severely lacking here is EV infrastructure. If I had a way to charge an EV, I'd have one.

I mainly have my car because I really like driving. I live in a big city with good public transport, but things are still quite a bit faster using the car aside from rush hour.

I always see pics and media of gridlock traffic in downtown cores. Why even bother?

If I lived somewhere like Vancouver or Montreal or Toronto etc. I wouldn't even have a car. More hassle than benefit in dense areas like that.
