not ready for prime time! Let’s face it: Battery technology is not there.
Now the battery apologists (also for solar and wind power) will argue that trying it leads to innovations and that someday we will get there, Yeah, maybe… But today is not that day..
So let’s not pretend it is a viable option now. It’s not. It is, at best, a luxury vehicle “niche.” And if ALL my driving is “running errands” locally and then coming quickly back home (and not even addressing HUGE fire hazard issues), it can work.
But again, it is a niche product. And if that niche works for you (and you are not worried about the battery catching fire), great. I’m good with that. But let’s be honest; It is indeed a niche.
