I know people at work that have been looking into EV's and it's a great idea until they start putting together the costs of running 240V into their garage with energy management systems where you are looking at +$4k off the bat before you even purchased the vehicle. It's simply something that the average family likely can't afford. I think in the beginning of this whole climate change panic people were of the mindset that it was the oil companies that were going to take the hit for combating climate change and we would just move on to EV's but it's not nearly that simple as it's going to cost everyone a lot of money and sacrifices.
