Yep, having choices is usually a good thing. I wouldn't choose an EV right now to pull a 40' mobile home but one would work fine for my wife's commute to the gym. I'm happy to see infrastructure expanding and technology improving!
For sure. And we each in our own way spend unnecessary money on things or luxuries that “we” want. Myself included.
But the flip side to what you said, is that $5000 fuel sipping old commuter would get her to the gym just the same, but cheaper, albeit without the fanfare and image you/she is trying to put forth.
I feel the point that is lost here is that generally those who are advocates are either above the median income/wealth range and it’s a combination status symbol and an adjectival representation of what they want people to think about them or literally going for the most basic compact commuter car.
Not bagging on your choice. I could say the same for myself with a stable full of fuel guzzlers. They’re what I prefer.
The difference is, unlike many EV owners, I don’t try to justify my actions by selectively promoting them while looking down my nose at those that don’t think the same.
Again not saying that’s you in particular, but that is the general theme amongst most of the staunch EV proponents here. Even the ones who don’t have the coin to buy one.
