I live on the Gulf Coast, when hurricanes come in we must drive long distances , sometimes have to drive through salt water covered roads. Two instant problems : NO charging stations over spillways( Louisiana) and saltwater causes batteries to either stop working or catch fire. EV’s are beneficial for a relatively same population of city dwellers. However, for others EV’s have unacceptable consequences.

So what they don't tell you:
1) A two car home switching to EVs charged at home is like adding 25 refridgerators to your electric bill.
2) The range is never what they say it is. Yes the fuel efficiency of a gas car is never what they say it is either, but you wont have a problem finding a gas station. A working rapid charger in podunk, Kansas, well, good luck.
3) If you can't guarantee that the juice coming thru the charger isn't created by fossil fuels, well, youre not being very green.
4) The mining and desposing of the EV components can make a diesel truck in a junkyard with its oil pan full look eco friendly.

My wife loves her Ioniq5. It’s fun to drive, gets 303 mile range, and she charges it at home on a level two charger. But not everyone can charge at home. It’s okay to encourage people to buy electric cars but there’s no way it should be mandatory. Can you imagine your elderly grandmother being forced to figure out how to charge her car, and other nuances associated with EV’s. If she lives in a high rise apartment where there’s no charger is she expected to go sit in her car for hours at a charging station. The government is trying to control too much of our lives. The government is supposed to do for the people what they can’t do for themselves.

The cost of insurance, garage and maintenance costs, They are valueless after the warranty runs out.
They cannot be towed normally the have to put on a trailer. Charging unless you have parking can be at best hard. Charging if disabled an be nigh on impossible.
Range if you use lights and heater drop by a third.

EVs should be an option - not a mandate in order to buy a vehicle. Nothing is a bigger turnoff than the government telling you what to buy.
