U.S. President Joe Biden's administration intends to relax limits on tailpipe emissions that are designed to get Americans to move from gas-powered cars to EVs.
What’s also a hard sell: I am one person. I do not need an SUV. I drive a coupe Civic right now… Where’s my compact econobox EV? Do I have to buy a big luxury sedan or SUV (or truck! Though I appreciate Ford and Rivian for making those options available) just to have an EV?
This is my main problem with EVs today: They don’t make one I actually want. I have a small wagon and a hatchback, and those body styles aren’t available in an EV.
The prices will eventually come down, but will they ever actually make an EV I want to buy? Will that EV charge me a monthly fee for features? Will it track all my data and send it back to the car company? Like you said, I’ll buy an EV if it’s even a modest improvement, but the ones I see are actually worse that both cars I have now.
