I'm an electrical engineer car lover, so I was a big fan of EVs when they first got re-introduced this century. We went through all this 100 years ago, but battery technology (among other things) was a limiting factor.

Gasoline is about 23x more energy dense than current lithium-ion batteries. If solid batteries make it to market in 5 years, that will cut that in half, but that is only one issue.

A key quote of yours, "I can charge at home." Average home price in the US is now $500k. How many people are groing to be able to afford a home AND and EV AND and EV charger? We're looking at the top 5-10% as the only potential customers.

I live in much more densely populated Europe. I live in a condo with 10 units but only 8 parking spaces. Here in very progressive Vienna, every new apartment must have 1 parking space for every new apartment, but that is not common in Europe, and doesn't cover the thousands of building built before that law took effect. Bottom line is that again we're looking at the top 3-5% of earners who can charge at home.

Without home charging EVs lose A LOT of their financial appeal.

So for me, the shine on EVs has come off a bit. A hybrid, OK. Full EV now? I'll pass.
