Ordered an electric SUV for the wife. Almost all of her driving is putzing around town and it seems to make perfect sense. Plus, dare I say, the R1S is pretty cool. Paired it with solar panels on the roof to insulate against future electricity price increases.
Nothing is a panacea, but EVs aren't a no win scenario. In fact, it is far more "made in America" than gasoline (or our cars, lol). We are a net exporter of natural gas and produce a most of our own coal, wind, and solar power.
