Some went and won Nobel prizes for explaining irrational behaviour of the hords.
One must stop and think very well before going with EV privately:
1. Can you charge at home, even with the granny’s charger?
2. Do you understand the risk of using public chargers: dedicated time to charge during a day, tenfold cost per kWh, rising costs of charging in times of crisis like now?
3. Can you afford insurance? EV cost more.
4. Can you afford price deprecation? Except Tesla, EVs I checked on their PCPs assume residual value of under 30% in only 4 years!
5. Should one go with pre-owned EV, which already absorbed some depreciation?
6. What about warranty: is 3 years warranty on European EVs is sufficient for such complex technologies?
The point I want to make that many people, who now rush to purchase an EV will be sorry they did.
