What EV would you want to have?

Some of these are concept cars by the way.

Or would you prefer some other EV?
 
Wouldn't need to charge hardly ever
 
I kind of like the Buick, Lincoln, and Ram.
 
For me, the choice was a no-brainer.

Option #1 was a BMW 3-Series. If you want good performance (the in-line 6) you are at sixty grand. My Tesla Model 3 LR is just as fast, just as comfortable, has a better warranty and far less maintenance. It got me a $7,500 tax credit below the $45k that I paid. Doing 90% of my recharging at home, I will average about 10c/kWh and I get about 4.5 miles per kWh, so at 12,000 miles per year, I will spend $265 per year to charge it. If the BMW averages 22mpg and I pay $3.79 for mid-grade gas, that's $2,100 fuel cost per year.

What was the question again? How can you justify getting an EV?
 
Because I only have one car. It has to handle short driving and long distance. I am not limiting my driving to to only those areas that have charging. I do not have to replace tires as often on a gas powered car. I can usually do about 140,000 miles on a gas vehicle and it is still running when I change out. Not a big fan of replacing batteries or waiting hours to recharge.
 
Yes. The one that has a hybrid badge on it.
 
Electric vehicles do not have to be too big and too heavy. Almost all those shown above are. In fact, electric vehicles don't even have to have four wheels. The problem is, American consumers seem to have to think only within the box they've closed themselves into.
 

I don't support the slave labor that's used to mine the minerals and metals required to create the massive, toxic batteries, which will then be disposed of, destroying the environment.

The same labor that produces elements of non-electric vehicles is exempt from criticism?
