One thing for sure there will be Lawyers specializing in "cord trip and fall injuries"
One question I never see brought up is longevity. Average US car on the road today is ~12 years old. Many cars in California and the west 20 years or more on the road with original drive train. Tesla batteries are guaranteed for 8 years retaining 75% of their charge range. I suspect a steep drop off after ~10 years regardless of miles driven. This could have a big impact on used EV prices.Probably battery replacement at that age and would offset today's cars maintenance somewhat.
Not sure of the average semi truck on the road age today. That would be good to know.
I'm serious about the Lawyers! Can you imagine a four car family with all electric cars with some parked on the street!
