I would get an electric car if there was infrastructure in my country for them and they were more affordable. No issue with them, it needs to happen.
What I don't get is, how do people with out driveways or garages easily charge them? In my apartment building, the car park isn't full of power outlets. Nothing is set up for people to charge them while parked.
Charging at home, overnight is the biggest thing to make them practical. As opposed to waiting at charging stations. How long is quick charge? Even at 15 minutes, it's a massive backlog than just replacing pumps at gas stations.
I know plenty of people who only have on street parking. With out a guaranteed spot each day.
I can only figure the plan is for a lot less people to own cars. Probably by not being able to afford them.
