I would like to buy an electric car but I will not because;

I don't have a garage.
I live in a very wintery climate and don't trust the battery to take it/don't want to heat a battery
The closest chargers are at least 50 km away in other towns
My house has 60 amp service (upgrading that is on the todo list, but it's a long list)
I don't trust the battery to last longer than the life of the lease

Most ev's dont charge with more than 7 kwh and habe active battery themp controll.

Dont worry your phone is not blowing up in under 3 years and those batterys get mistreatet.

I also highly recomend lobing your employer for a charger at the workplace.

My boss is a total asshole. I'm self employed.
