Every rich asshole out there with a sportscar out there or large truck is already spreading misinformation, because they know some people measure their masculinity by engine noise. And they know the value of their cars will plummet, so they’re getting defensive and protecting their investment already.
Without being able to rev their engines to impress women, they also have to grow a personality. A large percentage of that community are basically sheep too honestly
They are still a minority, most of us just wants silent clean car that’s cheap and safe to drive.
We also want batteries in our homes, we will buy as much batteries as they make, demand was never the issue. But supply is limited and that’s the only reason we don’t drive electric cars. Batteries and changing stations, people living in apartments have big disadvantage.
That being said though, as battery range increases, the need for home chargers becomes less relevant too. Cars with 1000km range for instance, for most people would only need to find a charger once every 2 weeks or so. And we’ll likely see charges in apartment carparks more regularly anyway
We’ll likely also eventually see hot swappable batteries become commonplace too (there are already cars out there that do it).
That being said, hopefully the new sodium ion batteries will bring down the costs at least
It already has.

I agree.
