I’m in the minority in the petrol head crowd regarding EVs. I daily my manual m2 and enjoy every mile driving that tiny beast, I have a tesla 3 which is in no means fancy or even well built, but it delivers phenomenal performance and convenience.
The scary one (for the future of ICE car) is a car like ix, which I just received it last week. It is extremely well built, fast, comfortable and very easy to live with. If you have 220 outlet in your garage, there is no real reason not getting ix installed of a x5.
For most of EV users “time spent charging” is overhyped, unless you travel couple of hundred miles a day. for most of us who drive less than 100 miles a day and travel 300-400 miles on weekends, and if you’re able to charge your car at home, the time you spend at charging stations will not be more than your time spent in gas stations for your ICE car.
Most of people who are absolutely against EVs have not driven or live with one. just go a head and rent a tesla for a week.
I watched a documentary on DW tv about German automakers really didn’t want to dive to the EV sector, and if there was no tesla in the market, probably none of the Germans would have made a single EVs.
But at the end, market( especially emerging market like china), policies and regulations and profitability ( which is is much higher with EVs) will talk.
If not all, but in the next 10-15 years most of cars on the roads will be EVs.
It’s a one way road.
