Companies are pouring billions of dollars into battery technology, electric motors are very efficient now, so I just am surprised about the resistance to EVs in this forum.

This is a pretty tough crowd to pitch solutions to. Many of us, myself included, appear to be pretty good at finding exceptions where something won't work.
Electric vehicles are presently good as a second vehicle almost anywhere.
As your only vehicle, they have some limitations. If you are a believer and have drunk the koolaid, you can fix that with effort, time, or money.
If you are not a believer and want it to make sense economically, you have a bit to wait for a solution or for the pricing to come down.
If you want it to work for *EVERY* situation .. even gas and diesel don't work right now, since they need the infrastructure in place, AND electricity to pump the fuel at the service station. During a disaster, few stations have that ability.
Don't be discouraged. If this group can't find anything wrong with a solution, we'll make something up to complain about!
