What strikes me with this thread is all the polite, well-reasoned replies that don’t hurt your head when trying to read them.
Personally, our “glorified large mobility scooter” has been a positive game changer for us and we’d definitely have another. Nobody is disputing that EVs aren’t for everyone, but please @on_the_spectrum, stop forcing your blinkered opinion on us as being the only correct view. Your post just comes across as an acrimonious rant that any Daily Mail-reading conspiracy theorist would be proud of.
