I see a lot of EV’s around Charleston and, for personal transportation in an urban or suburban environment they make a lot of sense. Are they at a point in their development where they can meet everyone’s needs? Of course not. Neither were IC vehicles ten or 20 years into their common usage. My Uncle Earnie was still farming completely with horses until he got his first tractor in 1947. He still used horses after that as well.
My wife’s next car may well be an electric. It would make a lot of sense. She seldom drives more than 10 or 15 miles from home. If we go further, we take my truck. If she travels for work the airport’s 15 minutes from here. I’m hoping she decides to get one. I’d like some long-term, first hand experience with one so when the topic comes up on here I can have an informed opinion.
