  • Jonathan It's sad to see all these automakers trying to make an unnecessary rush to go all out electric. EVs should be a niche vehicle. Each automaker can make one or two in limited numbers but that should be it. The technology and infrastructure simply aren't there yet, nor is the demand. I think many of the countries (including the U.S.) that are currently on the electric band wagon will eventually see the light and quietly drop their goal of making everyone go all electric. It's simply not necessary or feasible.

A Hybrid, yes, an EV, No. And for those saying sure as a 2nd car, what if your needs change and you need to use it for long distance (i.e. hand down to a kid as a car for college - where you definitely won't be able to charge it easily)?
