The novelty is wearing off, as well. It's slowly becoming "uncool" to own an EV. Non-EV owners resent their taxes and electricity bills reflecting EV subsidies.
Little is said by government, purveyors of EVs, or the self enlightened cheer leaders for EVs and solar power. The cost for materials, processing and disposal are all kept under the green cover rug in hopes the subjects never come up before the product is sold. No one raises the question about coulomb refueling - where did the energy come from, how "clean" is it really and where, other than in cities can the coulomb refueling be conducted, let aside the time to accomplish it and associated risk of being assaulted while one waits to get recharged.
EV work ok in cities, where you can shop, catch a bus, or walk while the vehicle is charged, hopefully still there & charged when you get back. Use on a golf course would be ok also for similar reasons.
Public ignorance is vulnerability. Investigatory diligence before purchase leads to a happier solution.

Hi John,
Thanks for your illumination of the EV dilemma.
