As a consumer why would I buy EVs? They are more expensive, their range is hilariously short (unless you buy super-expensive long-range versions).
The only reason to buy EVs is to cache in government subsidies (if they exist).
They're more fun to drive.
Charging at home is more convenient than going to the gas station.
Electricity is cheaper than gas. Depending on your milage it will eventually break even and be cheaper.
Even the shortest range is enough for 99% of the trips.
I spend less than 5 minutes to get gas. How long does it take to charge?
It takes less than 10 seconds of my time to plug it in.
