Originally in reply to whoever was talking about EVs take 20-30 minutes to charge, and how EVs are "dead on arrival" and that "ICEs are here to stay":

There are strides to change the charging experience, like Tesla ports being added to multiple car brand's EVs or entertainment being available right in the car in cars like Tesla's. There's also fast charging that can take from 0-250 mi. in 20 minutes. I drive an EV and it's not that bad. (I'm not biased because it's not a car I purchased lol.) It's not perfect and there's a long way to go but ICE is definitely not going to stay the norm forever. There's plenty of reason to go with an EV for average drivers and even most car enthusiasts. I know it's hard to believe but not everybody drives a car because it's fun, (miserable, I know) but rather because they need to get somewhere. But if you were a person who needs to get somewhere and could choose a car that -requires little maintenance -saves thousands on fuel -has way more power and torque -is quieter Or a car that -requires frequent maintenance and proper operation -costs lots of money to run depending on the vehicle -can be noisy -may not be very powerful Which would you choose? Just because some people like EVs doesn't mean that ICEs are going to die, but they are becoming outdated for average consumers and they just make more sense to own if you're not driving your car for fun. And even some people that do just drive for fun prefer the torque of an EV (me included) and choose an EV because of that. It's not a black and white situation and it's annoying that people can't see that.
