21, 2022 3:16 pm ET1. Why do I want an electric vehicle?Remember flip phones, fax machines and dial-up modems? You want an electric vehicle because they are generationally improved products: quieter, quicker, more refined, more efficient, offering superior vehicle dynamics, less maintenance and lower per-mile operating costs.

For the millions of American commuters able to charge at home, overnight, EVs will be cheaper and more convenient. For them, recharging could take seconds a week, the time it takes to plug in before you go in the house at night. For them per-mile costs will be measured in pennies, not quarters.

According to the U.S. EPA, the average EV produces about two-thirds fewer emissions than an IC car in a well-to-wheel analysis, which counts emissions from producing/delivering either fuel or electricity.

On a life-cycle basis—including end of use—an EV’s total emissions are less than half that of a comparable gas-powered vehicle. You want one because the preponderance of the auto industry’s genius is laser-focused on making EVs progressively more awesome while combustion technology is about as good as it will ever get. If you say it’s good enough, I have a question for you: What are you smoking?

My quandary: Do I do my part to save the climate by buying an expensive, immediately depreciating car to drive to the store to buy expensive eggs or do I give up eggs? If it&#39;s a No in US, its a bigger No in India, at least for now (2022).

Not til fast charging stations are available. I recently sold my much-loved Chevy Bolt because I could not drive just anywhere. With winter coming in Michigan, the fact we live in a rural-residential area, have no place to plug it in at home and don’t want to spend the extra $$ on an EV, NO.

Compared to EVs’ few moving parts, the complexity of modern gas-powered vehicles terrifies me: ten-speed transmissions; variable geometry turbochargers; high-pressure injectors; high-voltage hybrid systems relying on dozens of sensors and fistfuls of CPUs.
