EVs are the future. Get onboard once you can afford it.

I'm all for it, but I'm not jumping on board to ev until the infrastructure is at a point where charging is as quick and easy and ubiquitous as filling up gas. Or at least closer than it is now. Then again I will admit I don't have an EV so I haven't been able to personally experience what that is actually like.

I could however see getting an EV in a two car household where the primary purpose of the EV is for commuting and just getting around locally. Anything beyond that though I would still feel more comfortable with gas or a hybrid.

That's what bicycles are for.

What type of EV? Because people have a habit of conflating the battery powered EV with EVs in general.
