Absolutely agree. That said, there sure are a lot of Teslas and Rivians driving around today. My bet is that solid state batteries, which are right around the corner, will significantly change things.
If you have an electric car that can recharge in the same amount of time that it takes to fill the tank with gas, and that has a range of 500 mi plus, how is it not better and easier than a gas car in every way?

Toyota outsells Tesla 10:1.
You notice Teslas because they look bizarre, while Toyotas fade into the crowd. Same with Rivians. Ford fully outstrips them by volume, but damn if that chasis doesn’t pop.

You don’t. Even the highest end Chinese EVs need a solid 5 minutes to get to 70% charge.
I’m stick stuck on hybrids for the off instance I need to make a 400 mile drive.
Damn shame they cancelled that HSR through Texas. Would love to not drive at all.

5 minutes to 70% charge today. 10:1 Toyotas over Teslas today, with lithium ion batteries.
That changes with solid state batteries. Everything changes. Charge time and range with solid state batteries changes everything.
Long SLDP.
