So is it just dudes in here unsuccessfully trying to change the others' opinions on 202 pages?
To answer the question in the tile of this thread, yes, these days I would want an EV. Mainly for short city trips that I hate starting my cars for. My mechanical sympathy is so high that it hurts me to repeatedly cold start x times a day just to run errands. If I need to, then I tend to drive the long way to get the engine up to temp for that reason. A 500e, MINI SE, ID3, anything that's reasonably small. Zippy, all the torque down low, no maintenance, silence. Thankfully, I've got access to great public transport so I commute by train and don't need to use the car for work or top-up shops. Having said that, I've put enough miles on all the current 7 Series/i7 variants to have kind of fallen in love with the BEV luxo barge experience. It's really something else to be able to travel in something that is so quiet. The BEV powertrain suits the car a lot. The i4 GC is also a very usable EV daily; they've done a great job with that car. However, the G70 BEV is on the upper spectrum of BEVs that are somewhat meaningful. It is colossal and very much overweight at 6,200 lbs. The world definitely is definitely not benefitting from these oversized, overweight BMW limousines, let alone electric Hummer pick up trucks that take up three parking spaces and weigh as much as the Pentagon. Such new creations, though, very accurately depict the idiocy of the current world in which airlines are flying thousands of empty ghost flights yet citizens are being greenwashed.

I live in So Cal and have a Tesla in additional to the BMW. My experience with electric car ownership has been fantastic and I don't even charge at home. There is a Tesla supercharger a block from my office. I have 4 within 10 miles of where I live. The car surprisingly has better steering feel that my M2. Decently fun and is absurdly cheap to operate. Even took a road trip to Washington in it.
I'll always have a 3 pedal car in the fleet, but I'm here for the electric future. My only complaints are really more with Tesla as an auto manufacturer (autopilot, camera vs lidar, etc) versus the actual electric car ownership. |

2035 date aside if you are thinking of purchasing an EV then you need to watch this in it's entirety before deciding, sorry if it 'sucks' for some and like the journo says if you want ad free vids then move up to Prime. Again UK specific but may apply to many places overseas.

The videos above are from The MacMaster. He has over 1500 videos on YT. Out of fear of them all being posted here is a link to his video page. Some of the vids are on fish and chips and his struggles to get a good full English breakfast so it's not all EV blight, murder and mayhem.
