So, if your 60 or under, you will be driving a EV before your driving days are up. Might even be letting the EV drive for you.

I agree largely with everything you said, save for this. Change "will" to "could" and it would be more accurate. Unless of course, you think the govt will be overbearing enough to outlaw ICE's in the near future and place owning a vehicle largely out of reach for the common person and totally out of reach for anyone lower income.
Look now at how many 20-30 year old vehicles are on the road. That makes up a significant portion of the rolling stock out there and are the "affordable" vehicles for those who don't have the means to buy a $40-100k vehicle. If they stopped producing ICEs tomorrow, it would take a couple decades for the old cheap used inventory of EVs to be enough to support those of lesser means.

I'd love to have an EV, and could go strike a check for any EV on the market, in his and hers flavors, to boot. But for anyone who is conscientious about what they spend on vehicles and not just out to save the world or keep up with the Joneses, none of them make financial sense yet.

And btw, as the tide turns and EVs begin to overtake ICEs on the road, if anyone thinks that the power companies won't capitalize on it, you're mistaken. There won't be any "$12" supercharger fillups. The cost of charging, especially on the road will be on par with fossil fuels I predict. No free lunch...

GM and Others have already decided the future as they will NOT build cars and trucks with ICEs in but a few years.
