For me and several people I know, EVs have yet to reach a minimum utility level where we would consider purchasing them.<p>I can get any old gas powered vehicle with 500 mile range. It will have that range on a 5 minute "charge". When the temperature is 5 degrees F (not balmy california coastal temps). It will do so with a 5 year old storage system (tank). In fact, the storage system will not degrade over time.<p>And the price of the gas powered vehicle with much better utility? Less.<p>There's a lot of talk about averages in this piece. The US Air Force once went to a lot of trouble measuring pilots. They then built an airplane cockpit that would accommodate the average pilot. It didn't actually fit anyone.
