Ah yes, I am the only person on the planet who has a need to travel occasionally to a larger city during a normal winter. Got it!
Nice straw man, and a powerfully ignorant one too, given how many EVs it would ignore the existence of simply because they would not fulfill your criteria.
Oh, and I was kidding, no way in hell would I ever give such an antagonist such a leg up, pearls before swine and all, you've made your choice and the industry is quite happy to cater to it.
"powerfully ignorant" oh the irony.
EV's are great to bomb around Cali and similar cities. Practicality drops off substantially in rural settings, and to zero when the temperatures drop well below freezing.
Your fun little idea might gain some traction if you stop being a prick when presented with challenges.
The irony being that I actually face my challenges and you see insurmountable obstacles where there are none in defense of the worst aspects of the industry. But at least you are making your position much more evident, you just want to discourage EVs as a niche product that only works in urban environments that doesn't work in rural or when the temperatures drop below freezing, and seem to be quite hostile to premises that could easily change and disprove that notion. Why, ego or something else, I wonder.
Don't worry, my idea clearly isn't meant for people like you, so don't worry your pretty little head off.
The irony being that there are obvious challenges to EV becoming mainstream for the average person, and you choose to say there are no challenges. You are willingly ignorant to them.
You are the one discarding solutions to challenges, I'm just saying those challenges are not insurmountable obstacles. Reading is hard.
