Thinking of buying an EV?
First and foremost: Electric vehicles have seen remarkable improvements in design, engineering, and range.
Driving an EV is a surprisingly pleasant experience, thanks to quiet operation and seamless acceleration.
Who enjoys stopping at a gas station to fill up their tank?

Yes, there are definite advantages to EVs over gas-powered cars.
But there are also solid arguments for sticking with the conventional choice.
Prime among the reasons some opt out of EV life: Lack of a home charger.
Another deterrent is the initial added expense of an electric vehicle.
One could counter those issues with the argument that the oil pipeline has been subject to cyberattacks.
(For example, the mid-2021 Colonial Pipeline shutdown spiked fuel prices and led to gas shortages).
However, the gasoline supply does tend to be more redundant than the electrical grid.
Mining the rare-earth metals used in some batteries is energy-intensive and can produce toxic waste.
At this point, a gas car will start exceeding an EVs environmental imprint.
Bottom Line: Are EVs Right For You?
After the dust settles, should you make the switch to electric?
While EVs are certainly not for everyone, they do have a way of winning over hearts and minds.
