6. IMO EV is not ready for Prime Time

There is still an issue with range. Tesla no longer qualifies for tax incentives, not to mention the supply chain and Musk. Plus their truck is butt ugly.

Maybe in 5 years or so, new batteries capable of delivering long range would be available at a reasonable price. For now, hybrid is not too shabby. I have a Honda hybrid and so far, so good.
