I own two electric vehicles (2023 BMW i4 and 2025 Lucid Air) and three internal combustion vehicles (2024 Grenadier, 2008 BMW Z4M Coupe, and 2006 Infinity FX35) and a Dyson vacuum and two dogs and a cat.
As for electric cars, I think its silly that in the US we've allowed politicians and pundits to make the topic of electric cars a political dividing line. I think electric cars are inevitably the future for many reasons, primarily, they generally drive better, they will eventually be cheaper to produce and buy than ICE vehicles, they are cheaper to maintain, they are cheaper to run, they are more reliable, and then the environmental benefits.
The whole range and charging anxiety thing is overstated. Out of all my vehicles the one that gives me the most range anxiety is the Grenadier, especially when I'm towing (come on Longranger get that fuel tank ready!). The average American drives less than 40 miles a day. So if you have a garage or dedicated parking area where you can charge your vehicle overnight, then range is likely rarely going to be an issue. When you do need to take longer trips, either take your Grenadier or just enjoy a coffee and a snack when you are charging back-up after having just driven for 5 hours.
If someone drives long distances frequently, or doesn't have the ability to charge at home (for example they live in a place where they need to find a spot on the street to park), and the electric vehicle would be their only vehicle, then maybe an EV is not the right choice for that person.... yet.
