I think my problem was the EV I got was the in-new-condition nice leather, heated seat plush car with an awesome stereo, whereas the alternative car was the cramped, loud and smelly 1985 rust bucket VW diesel with rust holes through the floor board, torn upholstery and broken door handles and about 40hp, if that, as it took about 2 minutes to get to 60mph.

Everyone couldn't understand why I'd want to take the nice semi-used Leaf to work and then take everyone else out to farther out places in the ol' diesel.

If I could have had a cheap 30 year old crappy EV to commute to and from work and take family and friends places out of the normal commute in the nice newer ICE, things would have made sense for everyone.
