    The price is definitely the bigger issue for EVs, but even then they definitely need to either roughly double range or halve charging time from 20% to 80%. Right now, they don’t quite cover enough of users needs, especially at the price. I need a vehicle that covers 90-95% of my use cases, and EVs are sitting closer to 80%.

      Your EV charges at home while you are sleeping. I spend less time “refueling” my EV than I spent putting gas in my hybrid, even including the occasional fast charging stops.

        A couple of minutes every few weeks is a lot more convenient than having to plan in 30 minute charging breaks into the longer journeys.
