My wife leans left, being a college professor. Same thing, wants no part of an EV. It's because the range, and what happens if she forgets to plug it in.

Women in general are more conservative with their decision making, probably because evolutionarily their survival is more important than a man's. That translates to wanting the security of long range and plentiful fuel stations, as well as quick refuelling.
... I'm sure gender differences are entirely social constructs though, and have no basis in biology or the evolutionary process.  |
