[QUOTE="HoLeChit, post: 4126766, member: 35036"] What do you mean, “now”? Has something changed? I personally feel like EV’s are a waste of money, because not only are they less environmentally friendly as a whole compared to IC cars, but they also do not seem to last as long. I like the idea of an EV as a short commuter. If I had a job where I just needed to drive back and forth 5-30 miles to work I could see owning one. But, I don’t have the disposable income to buy a vehicle for just commuting. I need something I could do other things with, an economical car for road trips/etc would be nice, but an EV doesn’t fit that role. I feel that EVs can be beat in every category by hybrids, diesels, or even modern gas cars. They’re cheaper, easier to fuel due to the infrastructure already existing, and the last longer. EVs are just something to buy if you want the features, quietness, or recognition. But they aren’t economically feasible, efficient, or good long term use machines. [/QUOTE]
