RE: Warnings from the past. Be careful how you think about Electric Vehicles (EVs).

For me the issue is simpler, at least for the moment. Electric cars are still too expensive. If you are looking to buy a luxury car then something like a Tesla will fit right into your budget. If you are looking for a small, inexpensive car, electric just can't (or isn't) competing yet on price. At least in the U.S. I hear there are some cheap electric cars in China.
