I'm sure you know all too well the arguments, but here's my point:
Range - I drive more than 100 miles less than 20x/yr I drive 50km 5 times/wk. I would like my primary car to use no gas 5x52 days/yr and I'd like my second vehicle to have an ICE. How many homes in your neighborhood have only 1 car? How many multi-vehicle homes have ALL vehicles travelling greater than 100 miles in the same day more than one time per year?
Cost - What cost? A new motor, exhaust, gas tank and cooling system in a car would cost a LOT more than an electric drive system that fits my needs.
Recharging time - see point#1... i just don't need to go >100miles in a day and a second vehicle would be just fine for those rare days.
This one got me laughing, actually... The author said that the cost of setting up a charging infrastructure would be massively inhibitive! Really? So running electricity all over the country would be a difficult thing to do?... so... where do you plug in the computer you used to type that article, jackass?
