I know EVs are a hot topic. Probably much like going from hose and buggy to horseless carriages was at one time. Unfortunately, much of the eV "opinions" are political. Funny, used to be one side was against them as they represented progress. Those flipped once Musk through million$$$$$$$$ at one side of the political spectrum. Now, those same people are aghast at how some mistreat vehicles like Cybertrucks....the Crown Jewel of EVs (at least they were).

Personally, I like my EV. It's cheap to operate, reliable as an anvil, fast, comfortable, etc...all those things I like my cars to be.

With incentives going away, I don't know how I will proceed once my lease is up (also cheap). If the price of another EV goes up dramatically, I'd go back to ICE. I don't want to, however. I like my EV too much to do that.

All that said, I charge it in my garage 90% of the time. And, the times I have to use a public charger it doesn't really bother me that it takes 20 or so minutes to charge up. That's on a long trip. And, charging coincides with me taking a break anyway.

I believe charging infrastructure and charging times are going to improve exponentially going forward. And, prices will come down as more and more lower cost EVs are now scheduled to hit the market. They are unquestionably less hassle to maintain and to own than ICE vehicles.
