This sentence here is what pushed me and many of my friends over to get EV and never looked back.
Will I ever tow anything? Probably.
Will I ever RV with it? Probably.
Will I ever cannonball down to LA? Probably.
But for 99.9% of all my drivings, an EV would do a better job.
My CT drives easier than the last ICE pickup I had constant access on (F150 Lariat). CT is so much faster and more powerful.
I never need to drop it off for oil change, and I never need to look at gas station signs and complain about the gas price.
I stay warm and cozy when waiting my kids for their hockey at 5:30AM and no need to worry about carbon monoxide poisoning.
A lot of ppl say they aren't going to go EV because "oh, what if I want to tow fully loaded for 5000km non-stop down to Mexico?" when they have never even towed anything out of lower mainland.
They are paying all that extra so that they can stick with the status quo, when there are something better for 99.9% of the time.
Is EV perfect? No. But it is the ultimate city driving machine. There really isn't a single scenario that I can think of in city driving where EV isn't superior.
And really, for 99.99% of RSers, we are all city-babies. Except maybe 68style who had exiled himself. But Calgary is still a city last time I checked.
