    Isn’t. Just like phone makers are pushing fast charging. Nice to have but not required.

    You and everyone else on this car forum forget. Cars are luxury products that have only been around 100 years.

    We managed before cars. Since the beginning of humans we’ve managed without electricity cars and most other things. We can change the use

      Cars are luxury products

      The average person you are trying to sell a basic car to is not going to agree with the ‘it’s just a luxury product’ when their car is a crucial component of how they get to their work, their home, how they pickup their kids, how they pickup their groceries, and how they visit their family.

      And the Amish manage today without them as well. I don’t want to be Amish.

      If you truly are trying to sell EVs to people over ICE cars, you need to meet them where they are at. And, as the person above stated, fill-up times, range, and purchase price are all crucial selling points you need to compete on.

        You are making my point for me.

        These are use cases for the current system. A brand new system that didn’t exist 50 years ago.

        We have built our lives around cars. Doesn’t mean we can’t change it. You sound like the same people who refuse to change their habits while the world crumbles around us.

        Too hard not to use plastic for everything. Don’t want to be inconvenienced by anything. Great.

        I’m not selling you a car. Don’t care about you. Selfish people don’t think about anyone else.
