Yah sure if you dig around you can conjure all kinds of naysayer reasons why an EV wouldn't be suitable. Putting every possible, even far-fetched scenario on one's primary vehicle is how we ended up with full-sized pickups and SUVS as our primary *severely underutilized* vehicles.

The fact remains, the vast majority of households are multi-vehicle already, and the vast majority of trips are short distance, single occupant.

When gas is $10/gallon I think you'll find ways to overlook/adapt.
