An EV makes sense for many households.

How Far Do Americans Drive to Work on Average?
This^^^^ Is the real driving force behind EV. Most of us live close enough to work that an and an EV can get the job done.
NO an EV is not for everyone in every location but most of us fall within the 16 mile range which make us an EV candidate. Lack of infrastructure can and will be overcome and is not the determining factor.
Think of an EV more as a souped up golf cart capable of reaching highway speeds with basic amenities.
Most of us could use such a vehicle if we changed our mindset.
Most of us including myself do not think we are EV compatible, but an EV could easily replace 3 out of my households 5 cars.
There is a place in most households in most parts of the country for an EV.
We are under that average for our commute but tend to make it up on weekend plus it’s not uncommon for me to do a couple hundred kilometres for work related stuff during the week. Less in the winter as we try to get away for a bit. Having said that, winter is the season we appreciate the EV more than any other season. Instant heat, pre-warm, never scraping windows. Soooo much more convenient.
