Here's a thing. Last night when browsing for helpful videos I came across a series of videos absolutely ranting against EVs in general. The MacMaster and Geoff Buys Cars were the two accounts.
It was hilarious. I couldn't stop watching. The MacMaster seems to have been conned into taking an EV on a lease deal that would have caused him to lose money if he terminated it early, and set out on an EV debunking spree. It was mostly about the difficulties of using public charge points, and he seems to have set out on journeys deliberately chosen to lead him into situations he could then hype up to the max. He rants and raves about EV "zealots" trying to justify their obsession, but he's telling it like it is, you know. EVs will ruin your life!
One repeated trick was being unable to find the charging points his app had sent him to. Or being unable to connect. At one point I swear he ranted that he couldn't connect due to the length of the cable and stormed off to find another station, when all he needed to do was reverse the car in. When he found another station, I reckon he deliberately chose the charger that was out of order first.
He shouldn't have an EV. First, he wants to travel cross-country a lot, and he doesn't have either the patience or the foresight to manage his charging stops. The big advantage ICE cars have is their speed of refuelling out on the road, and if that's important to you, don't get an EV in the first place, certainly not until the charger network is more developed. Second, he's temperamentally unsuited to having an EV, lacking that patience and foresight and unwilling to acquire it.
The idea that an EV is ideally suited to someone who rarely travels more miles in a day than home charging can put back, and who is prepared to sacrifice a bit of time and convenience on longer journeys occasionally for that advantage, doesn't seem to have occurred to him.
Anyway, I thought it was all absolutely hysterical.
