The #1 problem with EVs isn't even the range or cost.
It's the fact that there's a lot of fly by night startup funding companies that are dying after the economy went to shit and the ESG money suddenly dried up. It's the fact that everything is proprietary, good luck getting a new battery for some obscure EV from a fly by night company. It's the fact that they're shipping with half assed software where you need a "software update" to make the car actually driveable, and the updates can fail. It's the fact that so many of them have weird issues that are all on the software side of things. It's the fact that there's all these weird charger standards when you can just put a nozzle in a car and fill up.
Some of this shit is also creeping into gas cars as well, but it's so much worse on EVs it's unreal.

@PurpCat EVs were neat when it was just about a bunch of nerds jury rigging the batteries and electrical engines into their shitboxes. Nothing stops the manufacturers from producing an EV that's as reliable as an ol' Corolla, but since there's a cultural shift from gas to EV, they smelled the opportunity to bring more profits by switching to the service model, and the nigger cattle would just eat it up.

@mint @PurpCat I think hybrids are still a much more reasonable solution but they are hard to get for some reason. I guess when the manufacturers see easy money from selling shitty EVs that take too long to charge, are unreliable, and are basically just throw away cars that’s what we get.
When I was shopping for cars last summer the guys at the dealership all drove EVs and said they lease them because buying an EV doesn’t make any sense economically.
